Pacers' forward Shawne Williams was skating on thin ice after a pair of legal transgressions last season, but he may have fallen through after another one of his friends got in hot water recently, according to The Indianapolis Star.
Friday afternoon, Carmel police arrested Darrell Smith Jr., 21, a passenger in the car Williams was driving, after discovering Smith had a small amount of marijuana.
"Shawne Williams was not charged with anything," Horner said. "He was given a window tint and seat belt violation. Mr. Smith?s marijuana charge is a misdemeanor."
The car Williams was driving was not his.
The team issued this statement: "While Shawne Williams was not involved in any arrest or any criminal wrongdoing, we are extremely upset and hugely disappointed he once again has put himself in a position that jeopardizes Shawne?s future as a member of the Indiana Pacers. I plan to meet with Shawne as soon as possible to discuss this further."
