An off-duty police officer witnessed former Atlanta
Falcons running back Jamal Anderson sniffing cocaine off the back of a toilet in the men's room of a Buckhead tavern early Sunday morning, Atlanta police said.
Anderson, 36, and Mark Hudson, 20, were in the same stall inside the men's room at Peachtree Tavern about 3 a.m., sniffing powdered cocaine off the toilet tank, said police spokesman Otis Redmond.
A tavern patron alerted an off-duty Atlanta police officer to possible illegal drug use inside the restroom, he said.
"The patron had heard what he thought was sniffing from inside the stall and told the off-duty officer," Redmond said. "The officer went into the restroom, heard the same sniffing and peered over the stall door. He saw Jamal Anderson and Mark Hudson sniffing two lines of powdered cocaine off the back of the toilet."
Police found a 1-inch square bag of cocaine and a marijuana cigarette inside Anderson's pocket. The men were arrested without incident and booked into the Fulton County Jail for felony possession of cocaine, Redmond said. Anderson was also cited for misdemeanor possession of marijuana.
Redmond said it was not known how long the men had been at the tavern or where they got the drugs.
