HOBOKEN AND BEYOND – Kenny Britt, the 22-year-old wide receiver for the Tennessee Titans who was arrested in Hoboken on June 8, had his charges of obstructing the administration of law, resisting arrest, and tampering with or fabricating evidence downgraded to disorderly persons offenses today at Central Judicial Processing Court in Jersey City, according to a report on NJ.com.
Britt, originally from Bayonne, was arrested on June 8 at approximately 6 p.m. in an uptown Hoboken car wash after he allegedly crushed a hand-rolled cigar which police say is often used to smoke marijuana, after police told him to open his hand. Police say they smelled marijuana and saw Britt holding the cigar. After a struggle, two plainclothes officers eventually wrestled Britt to the ground, and handcuffed him, according to the Hoboken Police Department. Although police say they smelled marijuana near Britt, no drugs were recovered.
