Starting cornerback Loucheiz Purifoy is facing a first-degree misdemeanor charge for possession of marijuana (less than 20 grams) following his arrest early Sunday morning.

Purifoy was given a notice to appear in court Wednesday. According to court records, his arraignment is scheduled for Feb. 21 at 9 a.m.
