Texas Rangers catcher Geovany Soto was arrested Wednesday night in Grapevine on a marijuana possession charge.

Soto, 31, was pulled over for speeding around 10 p.m. in the 3500 block of Ira E. Woods Avenue, said Grapevine police spokesman Sgt. Robert Eberling.

 

He has been charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana under 2 ounces. Eberling said Soto was cooperative during the arrest.

 

The Colleyville resident is free on a $500 bail. The Tarrant County district attorney’s office filed his charges Friday. Soto has not selected a defense attorney.

 

Texas Rangers officials declined to comment on the arrest.

 

“We are aware of the situation,” team spokesman John Blake said.

 

Soto has been recovering from knee surgery and remains on the team’s disabled list.

He's on the DL so it's for medicinal purposes I'm sure.

[ELEVEN]

Does this call for another players only meeting?

 

That isn't a minor bust in Tejas.

Why couldn't he just ask Washington to get him some?   When you have a manager with drug connections, his players should know better.  Fire Washington!!!

Is that considered a PED under the CBA?  

[ettin]

This will likely turn out to be the Rangers high point of the season.

[ettin]

News like this will help them before the Trade Deadline to help weed out those players they don't want to keep for next year.

[ettin]

This news only adds to their chronic problems they have been having this year.

[ettin]

Soto will likely receive punishment under the Joint Drug Agreement.

Amazes me how many stoners get busted while speeding

Luckily this news didn't break out on Wednesday. No one wants to hear bad news on hemp day.

Thank goodness he wasn't drinking.

[ettin]

Maybe the Rangers need to get him a life coach and put him on the bud-dy system.

This will take all of the attention away from that LeBron guy

[Blarg]

Ettin is just a keystroke away from a suspension himself under the AW anti doping policy.

[laagamer]

It's just weed. 

 

Sheesh.

It's just weed. 

 

Sheesh. 

It's Texas.  They fry people for traffic violations.

Also,  Ettin's got his pun game on today.

The Chonic Tacos was about to close. I'm sure he had the munches and cottonmouth.

[Angelsjunky]

Quit stirring the pot, ettin.

[Hollyw00d]

That's what happen when you don't keep homegrown talent

[Jeff M]

The gateway drug...next thing you know he'll be managing the Rangers.

[JAHV76]

He could still run for mayor of Toronto however.
