Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Johnny Jolly has been indicted by a grand jury for drug possession.
Jolly, 25, a Houston native, was arrested there July 8 for possession of at least 200 grams of codeine.
The Harris County grand jury recently found there was enough probable cause to go forward with the case, said Harris County Assistant District Attorney Donna Hawkins.
The indictment, a statement of charges, did not include any new details of the case. It is similar to the criminal complaint stage in a Wisconsin felony case.
Jolly posted $10,000 bond on July 8 and was not held, but has been ordered to submit weekly, random urinalysis for drug monitoring and has been given a curfew of 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
Jolly is expected to appear in Harris County court Tuesday.
Jolly was excused from practice Monday for “personal reasons,” said Packers spokesman Aaron Popkey, adding that the team is aware of the indictment. Players have Tuesday off from practice.
Hawkins said Jolly can plead guilty, ask that his case be set for trial or request more time to make a decision.
