Todd Marinovich, the former professional quarterback whose career ended in a mire of drug abuse, is facing a possible prison term after a weekend arrest in Orange County.Police said Marinovich was skateboarding in a prohibited area near the Newport Pier boardwalk shortly before 1:30 a.m. Sunday and ran away when officers tried to stop him.
He was found hiding in a carport about six blocks away.
Marinovich had a guitar case, and inside officers found about a gram of powdered methamphetamine, a metal spoon and a hypodermic needle, Sgt. Evan Sailor said.
Marinovich was arrested and pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to felony possession of a controlled substance and misdemeanor counts of unauthorized possession of a hypodermic and resisting a police officer.
