Former University of Houston football player D’Aundre Holmes-Wilfork was arrested Dec. 21 for possession of a controlled substance, according to an ABC13 article.
Holmes-Wilfork is the son of Houston Texans’ nose tackle, Vince Wilfork. As a freshman, Holmes-Wilfork spent this season as a safety for the Cougars.
“We are aware of the situation, and D’Aundre is no longer a part of the Houston Football program,” the Athletics Department said in a statement to ABC13.
According to Galveston County court records, Holmes-Wilfork was arrested in Friendswood after the car he was in did not stop at a stop sign. Inside the vehicle, officers said they found a backpack with marijuana and a prescription bottle with “thick liquid that had a smell similar to cough syrup,” according to the court documents.
Court documents state that Holmes-Wilfork was a passenger in the car and told police that the backpack belonged to him and that the liquid in the bottle was “lean,” also known as codeine.
Charged with possession of a controlled substance, Holmes-Wilfork was sent to Friendswood City jail. According to ABC13, his bond is set at $10,000.
