Nelson Spruce, 18, a standout senior receiver at Westlake Village Westlake who signed with Colorado, was cited on April 27 for alleged adult possession of marijuana at school, a misdemeanor, according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office in Thousand Oaks.

Senior Deputy Jim DeSoto said a drug-sniffing dog supplied by a private company detected marijuana in Spruce’s vehicle on campus.

Spruce has been given a court date.
