Camby Arrested For Marijuana Charge

[The Lone Granger]

Marcus Camby was arrested on Monday on a marijuana possession charge. Camby was initially pulled over for what police called an equipment violation.

Camby and another person inside, Kendal Johnson, were arrested and charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana in a drug-free zone because the arrest occurred near a school. Both were released on individual $2,000 bonds.

Never really saw Camby as getting in trouble off the court for this kind of thing. He'll get suspended a few games when the NBA does start back up, but shouldn't be too big of a deal. Yet another professional sports player getting busted for weed.

Thoughts?

Update

Marcus Camby faces up to one year in jail for his arrest for marijuana possession on Monday.
The district attorney's office could make a decision to charge Camby as soon as next week, and like all matters of this type, folks should wait before making predictions. Due to the NBA lockout, it's unlikely that he can be punished by the league for his alleged actions, though they may try to anyway.

Not good news for Camby or the Blazers. Hopefully he's able to get off fairly lightly and can play ball this season. Never thought I'd say that about something illegal, but he's one of my favorite players, and from what I've heard this will probably be his last season.

Thoughts?

Lmao I was thinking the same thing. A year in jail for what was originally reported as a misdemeanor is bullshit.

Good news for Marcus Camby, as he skates on recent weed charges (the same can’t be said for his buddy, though.) Reports the Oregonian: “The marijuana possession charges against Trail Blazers center Marcus Camby have been dropped by the Brazoria County (Texas) district attorney’s office and his criminal record has been cleared. Camby and Kendal Johnson were arrested last month after police discovered a small amount of marijuana in Camby’s car during a traffic stop in Pearland, Texas. But after weighing evidence — and accepting a guilty plea from Johnson — Camby has been cleared of any criminal wrongdoing. ‘For the record, Marcus Camby did not get charged with a crime and Marcus Camby did not possess any marijuana,’ Randall Novak, Camby’s Houston-based attorney, said. Johnson, 24, pleaded guilty Wednesday to a Class B Misdemeanor possession charge and paid a $1,500 fine.”
