A New Tampa resident and former NFL and University of Florida player has been released on bond, following an arrest for drug possession.
According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO), Donald Reché Caldwell, Jr., 35, of Cory Lake Isles, was arrested at the Lodge at Lakecrest apartment complex, located south of the University of South Florida (USF)’s Tampa campus on McKinley Dr.
HCSO reports that Caldwell was in possession of MDMA, or ecstasy, and was arrested on probable cause. He was charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, a third-degree felony, and was released on a $2,000 bond.
As previously reported in the New Tampa Neighborhood News, Caldwell is a former University of Florida wide receiver who played for the San Diego Chargers, New England Patriots and Washington Redskins during his six-season NFL career. Caldwell made headlines in January when he was arrested as one of four ringleaders of a gambling operation based in Tampa.
