STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) -Authorities have dropped a drug charge against Oklahoma State safety Victor Johnson, though he still faces accusations of obstructing a police officer and driving under the influence of alcohol. Court records show that a charge of possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor, was dropped Wednesday and an Oct. 18 hearing was scheduled for the remaining charges. Johnson was arrested in July after university police responded to a suspicious odor complaint at his apartment. Officers said they found marijuana after obtaining a search warrant. Johnson's attorney, William Baker, said a woman made a statement to authorities that she was responsible for the marijuana. Prosecutors filed the DUI charge against Johnson in June.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
