In news that will surely dust off some more tired Jail Blazers jokes—oh, oh, now do one about Sam Bowie and Greg Oden—Portland Trail Blazers center Marcus Camby was arrested for suspicion of marijuana possession earlier this week.
Trail Blazers center Marcus Camby was arrested earlier this week and charged with marijuana possession in Pearland, Texas, according to a published report by the Pearland Journal.
Camby, who lives in the Houston area during the offseason, was driving a black Porsche around midnight Monday morning, when he was pulled over for having an illegal sun screen device blocking his front window. Officers questioned Camby and a passenger in the car and noticed the smell of marijuana.
The officers were granted permission to search Camby’s car and apparently discovered several marijuana cigarettes and a small bag of the same substance under the front seat.
It’s Pearland, not Potland! Amiright or amiright? Um, anyway, Camby posted $2000 bond and was freed to go back to his job of not playing basketball because a bunch of horrible rich people have ruined the game. Meanwhile, somewhere off in the distance, John Canzano mounts his high horse and prepares his column for tomorrow…
THE MORE IMPORTANT ISSUE IS THAT CAMBY WAS PROBABLY COMITTING A DUII INFRACTION. I COULD CARE LESS THAT HE WAS SMOKING THE WACK-TUH-BACKY. ALSO JOHN CANZANO IS A TRUE AMERICAN HERO, UNLIKE THAT LAYABOUT ERZA ACKY CARAFE.
I *told* you I was serious.
All he’s really guilty of is DWB – Driving While Black – in an expensive car, in the suburbs of Texas’ largest and probably most segregated city. Not too smart. But who ever said athletes were smart?
I hate when Todd is right.
At least he didn’t get busted trying to get pot through a metal detector wrapped in aluminum foil at a airport, right?
