Seriously can’t believe that we are in the year 2019 and people are still getting arrested for possessing weed, but here we are…
On Saturday night, the former NBA player was a passenger in his Mercedes-Benz van when he got pulled over by Brunswick police department. It didn’t take very long for cops to smell the strong scent of weed.
Here’s how that played out for the 2001 first overall pick in the NBA Draft, via TMZ:
“Kwame copped to having weed in the car … and told law enforcement he had some in the trunk of the van. Sure enough, cops found a backpack with all the weed treats.
The 37-year-old was arrested and charged with felony possession of edible marijuana products and misdemeanor possession of less than one ounce of weed.
Worth noting — Brown is MASSIVE. Like, 7-ft tall big … and couldn’t fit in a regular cop car, so the cops had to wait for a bigger vehicle to transport him for booking.”
After playing for seven different teams over the course of his career, Brown would ultimately retire and then take his talents to Ice Cube’s BIG3 League.
