USF linebacker Devon Davis was arrested Sunday morning with outstanding warrants just hours after a USF football game.

Davis, 20, was pulled over at 1:57 a.m. because he was driving a vehicle with the headlights off. An arrest warrant was issued after he failed to show up for a court appearance for misdemeanor charges of possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The junior was released Monday on $3,000 bail.

In September, Davis told USF coach Jim Leavitt he thought he didn’t have to attend the hearing because he agreed to a pretrial diversionary program.

“I don’t think he would ever intentionally do anything like (missing a court date). He knows better,” Leavitt told the St. Petersburg Times after Davis missed the court date.

Davis was one of three players arrested in July for possession of marijuana. Freshman Curtis Chance pleaded guilty to the charge and received a year of probation. A third player is no longer with the team.

Davis has started two games this season at middle linebacker. He has 13 tackles and a recovered fumble in four games.
