LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – Kansas assistant Jerrance Howard has been suspended for two weeks after coach Bill Self learned this week that he had been arrested last summer for marijuana possession.

Howard was charged last July with unlawful possession of cannabis, a misdemeanor, and ordered to pay $1,178.26 in fines, the Peoria Journal Star reported. Howard was also placed on six months of court supervision that was set to end Friday.

Self said during his regular news conference Thursday that he was disappointed that Howard, who played for him at Illinois before joining his staff at Kansas last year, did not inform him about the incident when it happened.

Howard will not participate in practices or games during his suspension, which includes Saturday’s game between the eighth-ranked Jayhawks and No. 16 Baylor.
