Former Auburn QB Zeke Pike arrested again

Former Auburn quarterback Zeke Pike has left his third college football program since 2012 after another incident with law enforcement.

"He can now step away and take care of himself without worrying about football."

According to the Paducah (Ky.) Sun's Edward Marlowe, Pike was arrested Sunday on charges of possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, operating a motor vehicle under the influence, disregarding a stop sign, failure to signal, resisting arrest and second-degree escape.
