Enson Inoue was arrested in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, Japan on October 21 after being caught in the act of smoking marijuana. Enson is a longtime veteran of MMA, having armbarred Randy Couture for a submission victory and making appearances in PRIDE and Shooto among other organizations.

According to the Ikebukuro police, Enson was found possessing 16.9 grams of marijuana (including inside a tobacco cigarette, in his clothers, and in the car door pockets) in a car in a coin-pay parking lot in Ikebukuro at around 3:30pm on the 18th. Enson told police he received it from a friend a few months earlier.

It is being said that Enson admitted he smoked the marijuana himself, possibly in order to receive a lighter sentence. This is not the first time Enson has been in trouble in Japan, having been arrested on assault or harassment charges some years back.

This is also not the first recent marijuana bust, with three russian sumo wrestlers and a famous actor having all been arrested within approximately one month of each other. Is there a sting going on for famous drug users?
