Dalton said the police found an unopened beer in the glove compartment and that the pills belonged to a friend who had had shoulder surgery last September. He said his friend, Zach Wilson, left the pills in his car before a Missouri spring scrimmage. Wilson said he put the pills in the glove compartment since at the time he was wearing shorts with no pockets.
