According to court records viewed by the sports station, a Delaware River Port Authority officer pulled Huff over around 11 a.m. The officer reportedly smelled marijuana in Huff's car. Police claim that Huff handed over a container that had a small amount of weed and then told officers that he had a gun in the pocket of the driver's-side door.

Although the gun wasn't loaded, a magazine holding six hollow-point bullets was also found. ESPN notes that although it's unclear whether Huff has a license for the gun in another state, New Jersey doesn't allow guns, and guns being transported must be carried in the trunk in a locked container.
