D’Angelo Russell of the Brooklyn Nets was cited Wednesday night for marijuana possession after Transportation Security Agency workers flagged his checked bag while he was preparing to fly from LaGuardia International Airport to his hometown of Louisville, according to reports.
According to USA Today, Russell was detailed after TSA flagged his bag for what appeared to be a can of Arizona Iced Tea in a bag Russell had checked.
The can reportedly had a hidden compartment where the small amount of marijuana was found.
A Port Authority spokesperson cited by USA Today said Russell was issued a citation for possession of less than 50 grams of marijuana and a summons to appear in court.
