Report: Packers' Guion suspended three games due to offseason arrest

Published Jul. 23, 2015 1:35 p.m. ET

According to multiple media reports, Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Letroy Guion has been suspended three games stemming from his offseason arrest, although Guion is appealing the suspension.

The NFL won't comment on suspensions until the appeal process is completed.

Guion was pulled over by police in Starke, Fla., on Feb. 3 when officers found 357 grams of marijuana, $190,000 in cash and a registered gun. He was initially charged with felony possession of marijuana and for possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Guion pleaded no contest to misdemeanor possession and ended up being fine $5,000.

After the resolution of his court case, Guion re-signed with the Packers on a one-year, $2.75 million contract. Guion played his first season with Green Bay in 2014 after six seasons in Minnesota, recording 32 tackles and 3.5 sacks while starting all 16 games.

Green Bay will already be without defensive end Datone Jones for its opening game against Chicago. Jones was suspended one game by the NFL for violating the league's policy against substances of abuse.
