“We can confirm there was an incident last night where Duron Carter was charged with marijuana possession at the Saskatoon Airport. He was released from the airport and given an upcoming court date,” said Roughriders spokesperson Ryan Pollock in a statement issued to local media.

Carter now has court dates in Winnipeg Provincial Court on Feb. 15 and Saskatoon Provincial Court on March 27.

After an excellent 2017 campaign with the Riders, Carter signed a one-year contract extension at the end of January.
