NEW ORLEANS -- Former LSU linebacker E.J. Kuale, who spent his first season as a pro on the New Orleans Saints practice squad, was arrested this week, according to East Baton Rouge Parish booking records.

Records show Kuale was arrested early Monday by Baton Rouge Police on counts of possession of marijuana and possession of a firearm with drugs and was released the same day on $10,000 bond.

Kuale, 23, played in 18 games for LSU, including three starts, in 2004 and 2005 after transferring from Dodge City (Kan.) Community College.
