Chiefs WR Thomas arrested on marijuana charge

Kansas City Chiefs receiver De'Anthony Thomas was arrested Saturday on suspicion of marijuana possession and drug paraphernalia possession, according to the Allen County (Kan.) Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff's Office posted Thomas' mug shot on its Facebook page and listed the charges.

There was no information listed per the time or location of the arrest. Allen County is in the southeastern portion of Kansas. Thomas, who turned 26 earlier this month, was later released on bail from Allen County Jail in Iola, Kan.

The Chiefs indicated they are aware of the arrest but declined comment, according to multiple reports. Thomas is slated to become an unrestricted free agent in March.

Thomas had three catches for 29 yards and a touchdown in five games in 2018 before suffering a season-ending broken leg. He has 64 receptions for 503 yards and four touchdowns in 55 games (six starts) over five NFL seasons. Thomas returned a punt for touchdown in 2014 and has a 9.7-yard average on 72 career returns. He also had a 24.8-yard average on 51 kickoff returns.
