9 grams isn't a tiny amount.
Yeah, idk the law in Georgia, but the threshold in most states is right at an ounce...that's 28g. So he was nowhere near that.
That makes it a misdemeanor, and apparently the cops has the discretion of writing him a ticket.
I, for one, applaud this development. I only wish it was applied to everyone in every state and not just star quarterbacks.

This is basically what happened. Less than an oz in Georgia is a misdemeanor now. The officer has the discretion to write the ticket or arrest and he chose the ticket.
No matter what way you look at it, that's a positive thing, imo. No one should be going to jail for having 9 grams on them. That's just a waste of taxpayer money. Now if he was clearly intoxicated and swerving all over, etc. that's another story, but that wasn't the case.
