Chicago Bulls forward Joakim Noah accepted a deferred prosecution agreement Wednesday in his marijuana possession case, resulting in six months' probation and a $200 fine. The son of former French Open champion Yannick Noah was charged with possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana and for having an open container of alcohol early Sunday in downtown Gainesville. As a first-time offender, he was eligible for the deferred prosecution agreement, the State Attorney's Office said. The charges will be dropped in six months if Noah meets the terms of his probation. Noah also must pay $206 in traffic fines for two citations he received Sunday on the University of Florida campus. Noah was cited for driving with a suspended license without knowledge and not wearing a seat belt. Noah led the University of Florida to consecutive US college basketball championships before being selected ninth overall by the Bulls.
