Texas A&M’s finest made national sports headlines Tuesday night when a University Police Department officer arrested former student, hometown hero and NBA Champion Alex Caruso for having fun and being cool at the wrong place and time.
The charges were possession of marijuana (less than two ounces) and possession of drug paraphernalia. Usually, this would imply getting pulled over with a sandwich bag of jazz cabbage. In this case, Caruso made the mistake of trying to bring an herb grinder with “marijuana residue” (read: a weed crumb that wouldn’t be enough to get a mosquito high) onto an airplane at Easterwood Airport.
