May 22 Goodson has pleaded not guilty to drug and weapons charges in New Jersey. He appeared in court in Morristown on Wednesday morning.
Advice: He was arrested early last Friday along with a friend after they were found in a car stopped on Interstate 80. The men were charged with marijuana possession, possession of drug paraphernalia and weapons offenses stemming from a 45-caliber semi-automatic handgun that included a hollow-point bullet found in the vehicle. Goodson's attorney said Wednesday his client realizes he was at the wrong place at the wrong time and is remorseful.

May 21 According to his attorney, Anthony J. Fusco, Goodson will plead not guilty to weapons and drug charges stemming from a traffic stop early this past Friday, the Star-Ledger reports.
Recommendation: Goodson, who has a hearing scheduled for June 12, has been charged with unlawful possession of a handgun, possession of a loaded handgun, possession of hollow-point ammunition, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Fusco is confident that Goodson will avoid jail time, claiming that neither the gun nor drugs in the car belonged to his client. In any case, this is not the sort of distraction that the Jets were looking for when they signed Goodson back in March and the incident clouds the running back's future with the team.

According to the report, Goodson and a companion were found intoxicated in an SUV that was stopped along Route 80 in Denville.

Multiple reports, citing New Jersey State Police, indicate the ammunition with the weapon was hollow point bullets. Goodson signed a three-year, $6.9 million contract as an unrestricted free agent.
