MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Timberwolves forward Michael Beasley was ticketed for possessing marijuana and speeding in the Minneapolis suburb of Minnetonka last week, police said.
Capt. Scott Boerboom said Thursday that an officer stopped Beasley at about 3 a.m. ET June 26 on Interstate 394 after clocking him going 84 mph in a 65-mph zone. He says the officer smelled a strong odor of marijuana coming from the car.
According to the report, the officer found 16.2 grams of marijuana under the front passenger seat of Beasley's car. Beasley claimed the marijuana was not his, but belonged to a friend whom he had just dropped off, the report said.
The possession charge is a petty misdemeanor that carries a fine of $128. The Timberwolves said they cannot comment during the lockout.
