From staff reports

According to a Raleigh police search warrant, four N.C. State football players were in a College Inn apartment where police found marijuana and drug paraphernalia early Saturday morning.

Wolfpack defensive tackle Justin Sweezy, offensive lineman Jake Vermiglio, defensive tackle Marcus Kuhn and tight end George Bryan were identified in the warrant.

An off-duty Raleigh police officer working security at the College Inn complex on the 2700 block of Western Boulevard reported smelling the strong odor of marijuana from the doorway of a third-floor apartment as he walked the hallway at about 1 a.m. Saturday, according to the warrant.

After knocking on the door and meeting the tenants to confirm his observations, the warrant said, investigators seized three plastic bags filled with about six grams of marijuana, a "blunt" cigar stuffed with marijuana, two homemade bongs and other paraphernalia.

More details to come.
