Former NFL player and Jeannette High School star Terrelle Pryor is facing a drug possession charge after a traffic stop in Monroeville, according to court paperwork.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It all began when a Monroeville Police Department officer on patrol near Mosside Boulevard saw a black Mercedes with a tinted driver’s side window speed by shortly before midnight on May 24, the criminal complaint says.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After pulling over the Mercedes on Interstate 376, the officer wrote in the criminal complaint that 36-year-old Pryor was found lying in the back seat in an “odd” manner and “breathing so heavily I could see the rise and fall of his chest through his shirt.” Police said the officer saw the barrel of a rifle on the floor and asked Pryor to get out.<\/p>\n
Police said officers saw a clear plastic baggie containing suspected MDMA in Pryor’s hand when he got his wallet to show his ID.<\/p>\n
It’s the latest legal trouble for Pyror, whose playing career was marked by highs and lows. He was a national standout at Jeannette High and a star at Ohio State University, but he withdrew after being accused of selling memorabilia. He played for nine different teams in the NFL.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since then, he’s had several run-ins with the law, \u00a0including pleading guilty<\/a>\u00a0to criminal mischief in connection with a domestic dispute in 2021. Before that,\u00a0Pryor and his girlfriend<\/a>\u00a0pleaded guilty in a stabbing, for which he received probation for harassment. Pryor was also sued<\/a>\u00a0over his involvement in a crash<\/a> in Pittsburgh’s South Side Flats earlier this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n More from CBS News\n <\/p>\n
