Parker, 29, was released from jail on April 1 on $15,000 bail after being charged with cocaine possession, using/displaying a firearm during a felony and destroying evidence. Because that case remains open, Parker will stay in jail without bail for his latest drug charge.
The wide receiver remains a free agent after being released from the New York Giants in September 2015. He has also played with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints.
