Ray is projected to be a first-round draft pick Thursday night.
The arrest report describes Ray’s charge: 1) Possession of 35 grams or less of marijuana 2) Fail to drive in the right lane of the highway with two or more lanes. He was picked up at 6:07 a.m. this morning in Cooper County, Missouri, and he was later released.
According to reports, Ray was pulled over for speeding at 5:46 a.m. The officer smelled marijuana and found the marijuana in a compartment within the car. Ray was cited for a Class C misdemeanors for 35 grams of marijuana and failing to drive in the right lane of a highway with two or more lanes.
This could hurt Ray’s draft stock, but it would be surprising if he fell completely out of the first round.
