According to the Lincoln Journal Star, police found “3.3 grams of marijuana” and a grinder in his apartment. The 21-year-old Joseph and two others were cited after officers “executed a search warrant in a fraud investigation,” said assistant Police Chief Charlotte Evans.
Evans told the Journal Star someone used a stolen credit card to ship speakers to the apartment and police were searching for “credit card and shipping information.” Joseph’s roommate, 21-year-old Deandre Pippens, was arrested in connection with the fraud case. Pippens, who is not a Nebraska student, was also cited for marijuana possession and having a digital scale.
A third roommate, former Huskers defensive back Ishmail Jackson, was also cited for possession of drug paraphernalia.
Joseph, a redshirt sophomore from Weston, Fla., played in five games as a redshirt freshman for the Huskers in 2014 and registered one tackle. He’ll have to pay fines for his two citations.
In response to the incident, Nebraska said in a statement that coach Mike Riley and the athletics administration “are aware of incident” and “have no additional comment at this time.”
Joseph was previously cited for theft for stealing a “bait bike” last June. Joseph completed a pre-trial diversion program and the case was eventually dismissed in December.
