Alabama's week just got a little bit worse.
Running back Tyren Jones, who was already serving a team suspension, was arrested Tuesday for marijuana possession, the third arrest for the Tide since Saturday morning.
Jones was suspended on Feb. 10 for what coach Nick Saban called "conduct not to the standard of the Alabama football program." He has not been working out with the program.
According to AL.com, which obtained the arrest report, police stopped Jones and smelled marijuana in his car. Jones had a small amount of marijuana in the pocket of his pants, but officers also found digital scales in the Dodge Challenger belonging to Brandon Lee Hansberry, who also was arrested.
Jones was charged with second-degree possession of marijuana and was released on $1,000 bond.
On Saturday morning, safety Geno Smith was arrested for DUI and later that day, Jonathan Taylor was charged with domestic violence. Taylor was dismissed from the team on Sunday and Smith was suspended. Saban said Smith would have to earn his way back.
