Report: Former Ravens RB Alex Collins Gets 3-Game Suspension For Spring Arrest

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (WJZ) -- Former Ravens running back Alex Collins has been handed a three-game suspension from the NFL for his arrest in the spring, NFL Network reports.

Collins had been arrested in March after reportedly being found asleep behind the wheel of a vehicle that had crashed into a tree.

He had been charged with possession with intent to distribute a controlled dangerous substance, possession of more than 10 grams of marijuana, having a handgun in his vehicle and possessing a firearm related to a drug trafficking crime.

Online court records show Collins pleaded guilty to the marijuana and handgun charges in October. He was sentenced to 18 months of unsupervised probation. The two other charges were dropped.

The Ravens released Collins hours after his arrest.
