According to SI.com, Chargers’ safety Kevin Ellison was arrested in Redondo Beach on suspicion of possessing a controlled substance.

Police say the 23-year-old was arrested Monday afternoon after he was stopped for speeding in a school zone near his former high school.
Sgt. Peter Grimm says a search of Ellison’s vehicle turned up 100 pills of Vicodin, which is a controlled substance. He was booked and released on $10,000 bail.
Grimm says Ellison didn’t have a prescription and even if he did, it was an unusually large amount of pills for a pharmacist to distribute.

“Grimm says Ellison didn’t have a prescription and even if he did, it was an unusually large amount of pills for a pharmacist to distribute.”

No kidding. Ellison could have put down a couple horses with the number of pills he had on him.

Ellison was a sixth round pick in 2009 that started nine games last year. He was expected to battle rookie Darrell Stuckey in training camp this year, although the Bolts can’t be thrilled with this news. It’ll be interesting to see if he can battle his way back or if something like this will inevitably ruin his career.
