Chiefs' Pierre-Louis charged with drug, traffic misdemeanors

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Chiefs linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis has been charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana, THC and drug paraphernalia after a traffic stop in suburban Kansas City on Thursday night.

Pierre-Louis also was charged with driving without a valid license and failure to display a valid plate or current registration. He pleaded not guilty to all charges in Johnson County District Court on Friday and was released after posting $2,500 bond.

Pierre-Louis is due back in court next Thursday.

The 26-year-old linebacker, who was acquired last offseason from the Seattle Seahawks, appeared in 13 regular-season games and the Chiefs' playoff loss to the Tennessee Titans.
