Up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $ 10,000 (236,000 crowns) is facing American basketball player Montrezl Harrell, whose police found marijuana during a roadside check. The holder of the award for the best NBA substitute from the 2019/20 season had almost 1.5 kilograms of drugs in the car in plastic bags.
Police stopped him a month ago in Richmond, Kentucky, when he was driving too close for another car. They smelled marijuana in the player’s car, which they then found in a backpack in the back seat. The court will deal with the case on July 13.
Harrell has completed his seventh NBA season in Washington, DC, from where he traveled to Charlotte in February. He previously played for the Los Angeles Clippers and Houston.
