Fine paid for Nick Marshall's marijuana citation

AUBURN -- The fine Nick Marshall faced for his citation for possession of marijuana earlier this month has been paid, according to authorities.

Reynolds Police Department Chief Lonnie Holder said Marshall's mother, Shalena Cliett, paid the approximately $1,100 fine ($1,000 for the possession of marijuana charge, $100 for a window tint) on Wednesday. Cliett did not immediately return a message.

During an appearance on ESPN on Monday, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said he will make a decision in a "short period of time" as to what Marshall's punishment will be. Since Marshall is believed to be a first-time offender of Auburn's drug policy, he would not be required to miss any playing time, though Malzahn said he will "suffer the consequences."

It is not clear what impact, if any, Marshall's fine being paid will have on Malzahn's decision-making, though it appears to end the incident well before Marshall's originally scheduled Sept. 10 court date and the Aug. 30 season opener with Arkansas.

Should Marshall miss any time, it would allow Jeremy Johnson to potentially start the season opener, and teammates and coaches said the Auburn offense would not change much if the former G.W. Carver star were to start.

Marshall was seen cooperating with Holder and officer Christopher Rachalla in the dash cam video of the traffic stop, which was released last week.

In a bizarre twist to the whole ordeal, Rachalla was arrested following an alleged domestic violence incident involving his wife at their home in Butler, Georgia, Tuesday night.

According to WRBL, Rachalla has been charged with two charges of simple battery, terroristic threats, 2nd degree criminal damage, criminal trespassing and violation of oath of office.

Holder said he arrested Rachalla, who turned himself in to his superior, at approximately 9:45 p.m. and transported him to the Taylor County Jail. Taylor County Sheriff Jeff Watson could not be reached late Wednesday and a representative at the Taylor County Jail would not confirm if Rachalla was still in custody.

Holder said Rachalla was fired from his job with the Reynolds Police Department following the incident.

Marshall was scratched from attending last week's SEC Media Days, something Malzahn characterized as an "honor" to represent the program.

Widely considered a Heisman Trophy contender, Marshall threw for 1,976 yards with 14 touchdowns and added 1,068 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns while helping lead Auburn to a 12-2 record and the SEC championship last season.

He was one of four Auburn players named first team All-SEC and was named to the Maxwell, Davey O'Brien and Walter Camp watch lists this preseason.
