According to Wisconsin circuit court records, Allison was
pulled over and cited for speeding on Sept. 4, one day after the
22-year-old was released during the last round of cuts in the
preseason. Allison, who was going 11 miles per hour over the
posted limit, paid a $200.50 fine.
Police smelled marijuana coming from his rental car and found
two cigars that later tested positive for marijuana, according
to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. A misdemeanor marijuana
charge was added on Dec. 15, the newspaper reported, with
Allison scheduled for his initial court appearance on Jan. 23.
"The Packers are aware of the matter involving Geronimo
Allison," the team said in a statement to ESPN.com. "Because
this is an ongoing legal matter, we will refrain from making any
further comment."
An undrafted free agent from Illinois, Allison re-signed to the
team's practice squad on Sept. 5 and was elevated to the active
roster on Oct. 24.
Allison had 12 receptions for 202 yards and two touchdowns in
the regular season and reeled in one catch for eight yards in
Sunday's wild-card victory over the New York Giants. Allison
could see additional playing time on Sunday (4:40 p.m. ET)
should injured top wideout Jordy Nelson sit out vs. the Dallas
Cowboys in a divisional round playoff game.
