GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida quarterback Treon Harris is facing a misdemeanor charge for allegedly operating a motor vehicle without a valid license.

University Police filed a citation Tuesday, and according to court records, Harris has never had a license.

Harris has an arraignment scheduled for Jan. 15 at the Alachua County Courthouse.

Harris was stopped by campus police Dec. 13 at 11:29 p.m. for speeding near the stadium. Two other Florida players, freshmen defensive backs Jalen Tabor and J.C. Jackson, were in the car.

According to police, an odor of marijuana emanated from the car and two plastic bags were found in the car that appeared to hold a small amount of marijuana. Because the vehicle did not belong to Harris, Tabor or Jackson, police did not charge any of them with possession.
