Two-time UFC veteran Tim Gorman was arrested in Nebraska on Sunday night while in possession of 121 pounds of marijuana and other narcotics, according to a report form 6 News Omaha.

Gorman has been charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance, possession with intent to deliver and possession of money during a drug violation. According to the Buffalo County (Neb.) Sheriff’s Office, Gorman is being held on $250,000 bond. His court date is scheduled for June 17.
