PLANT CITY, Fla. -- Former Miami Hurricanes quarterback Kenny Kelly was arrested on three felony drug counts.
The 29-year-old Kelly turned himself into the Plant City Police Station on Wednesday. Police said he was charged with possession of marijuana and purchase and solicitation to deliver marijuana -- all third-degree felonies.
Kelly, who led the Hurricanes to a Gator Bowl win over Georgia Tech in 1999, was held in the Hillsborough County jail. The charges stemmed from a five-month investigation resulting in dozens of arrests.
Kelly played baseball after college, reaching the majors in 2000 and 2005 with Tampa Bay, Cincinnati and Washington.
At the time of his arrest, he was working as the quarterbacks coach at Plant City High.
