Tuesday by a Virginia state trooper who asked him whether he was a gang member and expressed the belief that he dealt drugs.
The player, Paul Richardson Jr., made the claim in a tweet that was later deleted. However, television stations showed images of it. The tweet was brought to the attention of state police, which said the matter was under review.
In a statement, police said that no formal complaint had been filed, but that they were looking into the matter. The review would extend to the trooper’s “in-car camera footage of the traffic stop” to determine whether it conformed to state police policy, the police said.
