MOBILE, Ala. -- Former Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell was arrested today and accused of possession of a controlled substance, according to the Mobile County Sheriff's Office.
The substance was codeine syrup, spokeswoman Lori Myles said.
Myles said Russell was arrested at his home early this afternoon during an undercover investigation. Police did not find a prescription for the codeine during their search, Myles said.
Other people were on the property, but Russell was the only one arrested, according to Myles.
He was booked into Mobile Metro Jail at 4:22 p.m. Russell was released minutes later after making $2,500 bail, according to online records.
Russell is scheduled to appear in court on July 20. A bond hearing is set for July 7.
Russell played high school football at Williamson High School in Mobile. He played quarterback for LSU from 2003 to 2006 and was the No. 1 draft pick for the Raiders in 2007.
Russell went 7-18 as a starting QB. The Raiders released Russell last May.

well, one thing is for certain...the "controlled substance" JaBustus was caught with was not a "performance enhancer".

I thought it was funny to have sports talk hosts who were reporting the JaMarcus story on the radio giving out the recipe for "purple drank"...codeine syrup, 7-Up, and jolly ranchers.

Who is the worst draft pick in NFL history: Ryan Leaf or Russell?
Both were total losers. Russell had all the warning signs and the Raiders idiot owner refused to see them.

Leaf is still the worst... Leaf did not have the warning signs Russell had.
Russell had the size but he was not a great college QB
Re: JaMarcus Russell arrested for possession of controlled sub.
Russell pocketed more guaranteed money than Leaf. A lot more.

I don't know what the big deal is? Syrup is such a mild drink, you can drink it out of a baby bottle,,, well here let me show you.

I bet his suspension is less than Ben's.

I would have thought his time spent embarrasing himself with the Raiders was time served.

He's not even worth suspending. That fool's career is over. No team is foolish or desperate enough to take a chance with him.
