Denver Broncos wide receiver Carlos Henderson was arrested on Sunday during a routine traffic stop for possession of marijuana. The arrest occurred in West Monroe, Louisiana where Henderson was the passenger in the vehicle that was stopped for speeding. According to police, Henderson attempted but failed to eat the marijuana he possessed as a way to get rid of the evidence. However, Henderson denies the claim and admitted to smoking earlier in the day but did not attempt to orally consume the weed before or during the traffic stop.

The Broncos issued a short statement on the matter stating that they are "aware of the issue involving Carlos Henderson and are gathering more information."

Henderson was released on bond.
