LeGarrette Blount and Le'Veon Bell get arrested for pot, now Steelers have no runningbacks
Atleast LeGarrette Blount is making friends over in Pittsburgh.
Former Patriots runningback was arrested for his namesake, kind of. He and fellow runningback Le'Veon Bell were caught smoking pot, which in states that aren't Washington or Colorado, is illegal. No word on if they were in fact smoking a blunt.
#Steelers RBs @LG_Blount @L_Bell26 to face charges on pot possession. Bell also to face DUI charge after getting picked up this PM in Ross.

Cops say there were about 20 grams of pot in the car. All 3 passengers (there was a female in back) claimed possession.

Ross police say Bell and Blount were pulled over around 1:30 p.m.

Oh, how terrible. What criminals these two are.
Since smoking pot is just about the most innocent crime in the world, the internet reacted to this with jest.
Looks like Blount just got busted with a blunt.

Le'Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount were LeBusted today. The Steelers are LePissed.

Maybe Goodell will let Irsay suspend Bell and Blount. #justkidding #atleastithinkimkidding

Anyway, the most hilarious part of this is that Le'Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount are both at the top of the depth chart for the Steelers runningbacks. They will surely be suspended for this, leaving the Steelers with no running backs.
Hey, they just signed Stephen Houston off the Patriots scrap heap though.
Hopefully for them he doesn't celebrate his newfound roster security with a blunt.
