NEW YORK (AP) — Tennessee Titans backup quarterback Chris Simms is expecting a court ruling as he weighs his next play in his New York City drugged-driving case.
A decision is due Tuesday on whether prosecutors can use Simms’ alleged admission that he’d smoked marijuana before his July 1 arrest. Simms’ lawyers say police had no justification for stopping him, so the supposed statement should be suppressed.
Prosecutors say the arrest was lawful.
Police say Simms was stopped for making an erratic turn, and an officer smelled marijuana coming from his Mercedes-Benz. He has pleaded not guilty to driving while impaired.
The Titans released and then re-signed Simms this season. He’s a son of former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms.
