Penn State coach Joe Paterno said Tuesday that an incident involving marijuana found in an apartment rented to four Nittany Lions players has been "blown way out of proportion."
According to court documents, campus police called to the on-campus housing complex to break up a party the night of the Blue-White scrimmage on April 25 discovered "marijuana residue" and related items in the apartment.
"That's been blown way out of proportion," Paterno said at a function with more than 400 Penn State alumni and boosters in the Washington, D.C., area. "It's a party, and my guys horsing around with marijuana? You know, we test them all the time. And the four kids who were renting the apartment were not in the apartment when the police got in there."
Police are investigating and no charges have been filed.
