The West Alabama Narcotics Task Force found 122 grams of
synthetic marijuana, also known as spice, on McClain during the
course of another investigation, police said.
McClain, 29, was arrested on Wednesday night on one count of
trafficking in synthetic controlled substances and booked in the
Tuscaloosa County Jail on a $500,000 bond, police said.
McClain, a seven-year NFL veteran who played for three teams,
was cut by the San Diego Chargers in March. He made the Pro Bowl
in 2008 and 2009 as a member of the Baltimore Ravens.
Before the NFL, McClain played at the University of Alabama and
was selected by the Ravens in the fourth round of the 2007 NFL
Draft.
