Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd, attorney respond to drug charges in Pennsylvania

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd briefly met with the media on Friday morning following drug charges filed against him in Pennsylvania on Thursday. 

According to a report from WPXI in Pittsburgh, Boyd has been charged with “possession of THC and not being registered to have a controlled substance” following the discovery of an unoccupied crashed car registered to Boyd on July 12.

"I'm just waiting on more time to get more information," Boyd said. "Then I'll have time to speak upon it. I'm trying to handle it the best way possible before I say anything and trying to get more information that way, talk more with my attorney, then I'll give a statement. Until then I'm just trying to wait."

Boyd's attorneys in Pittsburgh are Anthony DeLuca and Daniel Konieczny, and DeLuca told The Enquirer on Friday that "I want to be clear that there is no allegation that Tyler was in any way driving this vehicle. He had lent it to a friend for a very specific purpose and while that friend has a car, he wrecked the car. Tyler was not in the car, around the car or with this individual when the accident occurred. I want to make that clear."

DeLuca added, "There seems to be some factual confusion revolving around the issue of who possessed the marijuana located in the car." 

Boyd has a court date scheduled within the next month and DeLuca said he plans to work with Boyd and the court system to make the schedules work.

DeLuca also said Boyd's 2015 arrest for driving under the influence has been expired after Boyd completed his first-time offender probation and has no prior record, according to the court system.
