OU FOOTBALL PLAYER RELEASED AFTER MARIJUANA COMPLAINT

An OU football player was released on bond after being arrested on a
complaint of possession of marijuana.

Norman police arrested Brandon K. Everage, 22, of 1006 Drake Drive on
Tuesday in connection with felony charges of possessing marijuana within
1,000 feet of a city park, according to a Norman police report.

The Norman Police Department's Special Operations Division was executing a
search warrant at the home of James Chassot Adkins, 21, at 2712 Cheyenne
Way, according to the report. During the search of Adkins' residence,
police found about 114 grams of marijuana, marijuana shake and stems and
drug paraphernalia.

During the search of the house, Everage and Robert Carl White, 23, of 217
E. Oak in Granger, Texas, arrived at the house in what Everage said was his
vehicle, said Norman police Lt. Glenn Dobry. When police searched Everage's
car, Dobry said they found marijuana seeds and stems.

Everage, White and Adkins were arrested and taken to the Cleveland County
Detention Center, Dobry said.

Everage was released on bond at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to the
Cleveland County Detention Center.

Everage, a native of Granger, Texas, is a two-year football starter at free
safety for the OU defense.

OU head football coach Bob Stoops said the team would handle the situation
as more details become available.
