Preston Parker's football career at Florida State should be back on track next week.
The Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office on Monday formally charged Parker
with a felony for carrying a concealed firearm and a misdemeanor for marijuana
possession. But a resolution is in the works that could reduce the felony charge.
"That probably is what we are looking at most strongly," Assistant State Attorney
Alan Johnson said. "We will have an offer out there. A perfectly appropriate
resolution to this case would be a reduction in charges." A hearing is scheduled
for Monday in West Palm Beach.
