ATLANTA (AP) — Former University of Utah and Atlanta Falcons running back Jamal Anderson has been released from jail following his arrest on drug charges.

Anderson is charged with felony cocaine possession and misdemeanor marijuana possession.

Fulton County Jail spokeswoman Tracy Flanagan says he was let out on $6,000 bond Sunday evening.

Atlanta police say Anderson is accused of having powder cocaine and a marijuana cigarette in his possession at an Atlanta tavern. The Fulton County Superior Court clerk's office says charges have been dropped against 20-year-old Mark Daniel Hudson, who police say was with Anderson.
