NBA Forward Shawne Williams indicted on felony drug charges
He was also released by the New Jersey Nets today. From AP-
Former NBA and Memphis player Shawne Williams has been indicted on felony drug charges.
Prosecutors said Friday that Williams was indicted Tuesday by a county grand jury on eight counts for possession and conspiracy to sell a codeine-based syrup.
Williams was jailed with bond set at $16,000. It was not immediately known if he had a lawyer.
Earlier Friday, the New Jersey Nets said they had waived Williams, a 23-year-old forward, after acquiring him earlier this week from Dallas along with Kris Humphries for veteran forward Eduardo Najera.
Man, it sure isn’t Shawne Williams week. He got arrested for a felony and released by the worst team in the NBA this year.
Williams, a former first round pick of the Indiana Pacers, hasn’t played in a NBA game this season. Lets hope he pulls his life together.
