Mason pleads not guilty
Los Angeles Rams running back Tre Mason's attorney entered a plea of not guilty on misdemeanor traffic and drug charges on Thursday.
Per Jack Wang of the Los Angeles Daily News, attorney H.T. Smith had to enter the plea on Mason's behalf after the former Auburn star skipped his scheduled court appearance on Monday.
As a result of skipping his scheduled court appearance, per Wang, a warrant has been issued for Mason's arrest.
A third-round pick by the Rams in 2014, Mason was arrested by police in Broward County, Florida, in March for suspicion of possession of marijuana, reckless driving, failure to register a motor vehicle and resisting arrest, per ESPN.com's Nick Wagoner.
Wagoner noted police officers had to subdue Mason with a Taser before arresting him. The Rams released a statement on the matter, included in Wagoner's report.
"We are very disappointed to learn of an incident involving Tre Mason in the Miami, Florida, area Saturday afternoon," the Rams said. "We are in the process of obtaining more information about the facts surrounding this incident and will have no further comment at this time."
In the official report filed by officer Lester Cochenour, per Wagoner, he said Mason "was warned several times in a composed voice to stop resisting, exit the vehicle and if he did not comply with arrest, a Taser would be used."
Mason looked like a key piece in the Rams offense as a rookie, running for 765 yards and four touchdowns on 179 attempts in 12 games (nine starts). He had a significantly reduced role last year after the team drafted Todd Gurley, as he only had 207 yards on 75 carries.
Despite Mason's drop in production, the Rams have him listed as the No. 2 running back behind Gurley. He's got the potential to be a key figure in the L.A. offense, but this off-field incident will need to be resolved before looking ahead to anything on the field in 2016.

Rams RB Tre Mason wasn’t aware of court date, attorney argues
http://www.dailynews.com/sports/20160415/rams-rb-tre-mason-wasnt-aware-of-court-date-attorney-argues
Los Angeles Rams running back Tre Mason missed his court date Monday because he didn’t know it had been scheduled, according to court documents filed by his attorney.
On Friday morning, H.T. Smith filed a motion in a Broward County (Fla.) court to quash the active arrest warrant for Mason, who had missed his Monday arraignment on misdemeanor traffic and drug charges. Smith had entered a plea of not guilty on Mason’s behalf Thursday, but the warrant remained active because Mason did not show up to court and had not been taken into custody.
According to Smith’s latest filing, Mason’s notice of arraignment had been mailed to an old address, leaving the 22-year-old unaware of his upcoming obligation. Court records show the notice had been mailed March 23, but returned to sender April 7 — four days before Mason’s scheduled arraignment.
Mason had been arrested March 5 in Hollywood, Fla., on misdemeanor charges that included reckless driving, possession of marijuana and resisting arrest. Police allege he drove his Porsche at more than twice the speed limit in a 35-mile-per-hour zone, and used a Taser on him twice in order to remove him from his vehicle.
The former Auburn star has run for 972 yards and five touchdowns in two seasons with the Rams.

Rams RB Tre Mason has arrest warrant withdrawn

Rams running back Tre Mason is facing misdemeanor charges that include reckless driving, resisting arrest, and possession of marijuana. (The Associated Press)
By Jack Wang, Los Angeles Daily News
Los Angeles Rams running back Tre Mason is no longer facing arrest, according to Florida court records.
On Monday, Broward County judge Robert Diaz withdrew the warrant for Mason’s arrest, which had been active since the 22-year-old missed his arraignment on misdemeanor traffic and drug charges a week ago. Mason’s attorney, H.T. Smith, filed a motion last Friday to quash the warrant.
Smith argued his client had missed the arraignment because he was unaware of the scheduled court date, the result of a court notice having been mailed to the incorrect address. Records show the court date notice had been mailed March 23, but was returned to sender two weeks later.
Mason was arrested March 5 in Hollywood, Fla., where police allegedly saw him drive more than twice the speed limit in a 35-mile-per-hour zone. According to a written report, police subdued Mason by tasing him twice after pulling him over. They then found 12 grams of marijuana in his Porsche.
A third-round draft pick in 2014, Mason is facing misdemeanor charges that include reckless driving, resisting arrest, and possession of marijuana.

Props for working Hermione Granger into a Rams forum post. That's a new one, I think...
Holy crap, tough crowd here. Let's slow down on the death sentence for Tre.
I'm not condoning what he did: racing around like a dumbass with weed in the car. Then, making it worse by resisting. It was completely stupid, but let's give the kid a break and not bury him just yet.
He had a stellar college career and played really well for us his rookie year.
I'll give him a pass for last year, thinking you're the starter and--surprise!!!---1st round pick on Gurley has to f*** with a young mans head.
He can be a valuable member of the Rams.

I am on this page now. Sounds like "missing the court date" was a legit reason.

Tre's lawyer needs to be fired. The "I didn't know about the court date" is so lame. Judges hear it all the time.
They needed a much more gripping, believable alibi. For example:
:flanders: "Judge, my client suffers from a condition called, Cannabisitis, rendering his hearing nearly useless. You see, your honor, it causes the roots from the Cannabis plant to grow out of his ears. He couldn't hear his court date."
"As you can clearly see, my client is in great pain. He doesn't need imprisonment, but compassion....uh, and his medicinal marijuana, of course...for the pain."
"I move that you dismiss this case judge."

Missed court dates are extremely common. You wouldn't believe how many people miss court - but this isn't a good look for his lawyer.

For whatever reason, the court didn't have his current address. They may have simply used his address of record on his license and if he'd moved and not updated his license, then... he wouldn't get the mail notification.
Man, he really needs to wrap this up and right quick.
