Packers DE Johnny Jolly Remains Jailed


Green Bay Packers defensive end Johnny Jolly was denied bond and will remain jailed in Houston on felony drug possession charges, The Associated Press reports.

During a traffic stop last Friday, police discovered 600 grams of codeine, prompting in Jolly's arrest for possession of a controlled substance.

Jolly was suspended for the entire 2010 season for violating the league's substance abuse policy. That discipline was tied to a 2008 arrest in Houston on drug possession charges, also involving codeine.

Last August, Jolly avoided jail time by entering into a pretrial diversion program that would have resulted in the dismissal of charges if Jolly stayed out of trouble for one year.
