Browns' Armonty Bryant pleads not guilty to drug possession charges

Cleveland Browns linebacker Armonty Bryant pleaded not guilty Wednesday to felony drug charges, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Bryant was indicted on two counts of felony drug possession earlier in February stemming from a Christmas morning traffic stop. Officers found Bryant to be in possession of Oxycodone and Adderall.

Former Browns defensive back De'Ante Saunders, who was driving the vehicle at the time, pleaded not guilty to one count of improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle.

Bryant's next court hearing has been scheduled for March 1.
