According to court records viewed by the sports station, a Delaware River Port Authority officer pulled Huff over around 11 a.m. The officer reportedly smelled marijuana in Huff's car. Police claim that Huff handed over a container that had a small amount of weed and then told officers that he had a gun in the pocket of the driver's-side door.
