The charges from the arrest of Tre Mason on March 5 during a traffic stop in Hollywood, Florida, were resolved yesterday in the Broward County Court of Judge Robert F. Diaz, according to Mark Inabinnett of AL.com.
A plea of nolo contendere was entered Monday on three of the five charges Mason faced which stemmed from the arrest where the 23-year-old had to be subdued twice via Taser.
Mason was charged with resisting an officer/obstruction (without violence) after refusing to acknowledge going 75 mph in a 35 mph zone.
He also was charged with reckless driving, failure to register a motor vehicle, possession of marijuana (in an amount less than twenty grams) and failure to yield the right of way to an emergency vehicle.

Per Inabinnett, the “failure to yield the right of way charge was dismissed, and the prosecution of the reckless-driving charge was abandoned.”
A plea of nolo contendre allows a defendant to not admit guilt or responsibility for their charges, while also agreeing to accept punishment. Mason’s punishment in this instance amounts to a “fine and/or costs,” of $293.
Mason remains on the reserve/did not report list of the Los Angeles Rams since failing to appear to their training camp on July 29.
Rams head coach Jeff Fisher has made no public statement regarding Mason since camp where he stated that he has not been able to reach the running back since the end of 2015.
