In between pitching his upcoming celebrity softball game yesterday, Patriots [team stats] running back Kevin Faulk [stats] also delivered a message about being cited for marijuana possession at a rap concert in Louisiana in February.
Faulk was not arrested after being found with four hand-rolled cigars filled with marijuana in the coat he was wearing.
“I take full responsibility for what I had on me, for what happened,” Faulk said last night. “But at the same time, with regard to some of the things that were said, there were stories that I got arrested, that I got caught smoking. I know what happened. I don’t have to tell anyone that. When the media calls asking questions and looking for a comment, I was always taught actions speak louder than words. So I didn’t want to talk about it. I wanted to react to it. So I took a drug test, and that was it for me.
“And right now, it’s behind me. So I’m just trying to move on and play football now.”
The 31-year-old Faulk passed the drug test, which was taken shortly after he was cited for simple possession at the Lil’ Wayne concert at the Cajundome.
“It was for my family, my kids, my wife,” he said. “They shared in everything that happened with me. So the best thing for me to do was to go and take a drug test.”
