CAYCE, S.C. (AP) -South Carolina receiver Dion Lecorn was arrested at an apartment complex and charged with marijuana possession.

A police report says the freshman receiver from Ocala, Fla., and two other men told police they had been smoking marijuana Sunday night in a car at the complex. An officer on patrol smelled the marijuana when she came over to the car to tell the men to turn down the music.

Police said they found a burnt marijuana cigarette in the ashtray during a search and Lecorn indicated it was his.

It was not immediately clear whether Lecorn had a lawyer.

Lecorn had 27 catches for 315 yards and three touchdowns last season.
