A little over a month after he was arrested and charged for two misdemeanors and a pair of traffic violations in Florida, former Auburn running back Tre Mason has found himself in more trouble.
Mason was due to report in Broward County court Monday to be arraigned for the March 5 incident near his home in Hollywood, Florida, but he never showed up, TMZsports reports. As a result, the judge has issued a warrant for Mason's arrest.
Mason had been charged with resisting arrest by a Hollywood Police Department officer after Mason drove off when the officer attempted to pull him over for going 75 miles per hour in a 35 mile per hour zone.
According to the police report, Mason did not comply with the officer's orders to produce identification, and after two more officers were brought in for assistance, a taser was used to subdue Mason because he was "tensed his arms and straightened his body as he used the floor, steering wheel and seat to brace himself in the vehicle" and repeatedly refused the officers' request to comply. Cannabis was found in Mason's car after further inspection and he was detained.
