Former Auburn running back Tre Mason failed to appear in court on Monday, so a warrant has been issued for his arrest, according to ESPN’s Nick Wagoner.
Mason, now with the Los Angeles Rams, was scheduled to be arraigned in Broward County (Fla.) court on four charges that included suspicion of possession of marijuana, reckless driving, failure to register a motor vehicle and resisting arrest.
Those charges stem from March 5, when he was subdued with a taser and arrested in Hollywood, Fla. That night, Mason fled from officers trying to pull him over and was going at least 70 mph in a 35 mph zone.
The Rams took Mason in the third round of the 2014 NFL Draft, and he was the starter in his rookie season. However, he saw a dip in his production last season after the team took another fellow SEC running back, Georgia’s Todd Gurley, with the 10th overall pick in last year’s draft.
Gurley had a sensational rookie season in which he rushed for 1,106 yards and 10 TDs to earn a trip to the Pro Bowl.
