EATON, Ohio -- Indianapolis Colts running back Ahmad Bradshaw pleaded not guilty to a marijuana possession charge in western Ohio on Tuesday.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol says Bradshaw was stopped for a traffic violation on Interstate 70 on Feb. 5. He was charged with a misdemeanor count of possession of a small amount of marijuana and with allegedly following too closely behind another vehicle in his Cadillac.

A court deputy clerk says the citations had been payable by fines without a court appearance. A pretrial hearing has been scheduled for Feb. 25.

The 28-year-old former New York Giants player's productive 2014 Colts season was cut short by a fractured fibula. He had 725 total yards and eight touchdowns.
