UF senior cornerback Janoris Jenkins cited for pot

Florida senior cornerback Janoris Jenkins has been cited for possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana by Gainesville Police.

Jenkins received the citation after officers observed Jenkins attempting to roll a cannabis cigarette in the bathroom of a downtown night club (Status Nightclub) on Saturday night. Because the amount was so small, Jenkins was not arrested. The possession charge is a misdemeanor. Jenkins was issued a notice to appear and released. He has a Feb. 17 court date.

Jenkins is the first UF football player to get in trouble with the law under new coach Will Muschamp. There were 30 arrests of UF players under Urban Meyer (2005-10).
