TCU receiver Brandon Carter arrested on drug charge

A rough year on and off the field for TCU wide receiver Brandon Carter has continued and spilled into police reports. 

According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Carter was arrested Tuesday night by Fort Worth police on suspicion of possession of marijuana. 

Officers conducted a traffic stop of a 2010 Lexus with a "warrant hit", and arrested its two occupants, Carter and 22-year-old Alexis Harris, for alleged possession of less than two ounces of marijuana. 

Carter was released from Mansfield jail Wednesday morning on a pre-trial release, according to employees. 

After a sparking 2012 season where he corralled 36 catches for 590 yards and six touchdowns, Carter was granted a leave of absence from the team during the most recent season to deal with a personal issue. 

He has not been allowed to practice with the team this spring, allowing him to focus on school.
