Former Hillsborough High standout linebacker Jerod Brisbon, who last fall worked his way into the starting lineup for Florida A&M University, was arrested Sunday in Tampa and charged with allegedly possessing less than 20 grams of marijuana, drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest without violence.

All three charges are misdemeanor offenses. After being arrested by a Tampa Police Department officer on East Busch Blvd., Brisbon, 20, posted a $1,500 bond and was released.

The 5-foot-11, 208-pound Brisbon signed with FAMU last spring and despite coming in as a true freshman, had earned a starting spot at linebacker with the Rattlers by season’s end last fall. In his senior year for Hillsborough, Brisbon tied for the team lead in tackles with 68, had one interception and a sack.
