Damn, Shawne... He got caught up in this kind of mess AGAIN?
Ex-NBAer Shawne Williams Arrested For Drug Possession
Dec 14, 2012 By Ruth Manuel-Logan
Former NBA baller Shawne Williams (pictured) was arrested on Thursday night in Memphis and is now facing charges of possession of cocaine with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver and possession of a controlled substance, reports TMZ.
According to police, an officer on a routine patrol outside of an electronics store noticed that the smell of marijuana permeated the air and seemed to be wafting from the direction of a parked Porsche Panamera sedan. When the policeman approached the expensive car, Williams was inside. The 26-year-old immediately thought he should fess up to the law enforcer by stating, “Officer I ain’t gonna lie to you, there’s a blunt in the car and some syrup.”
When the policeman searched the vehicle, he reportedly stumbled upon a partially smoked blunt, another that had not been touched, and a bottle of codeine-based cough syrup, which didn’t have a prescription.
It seems that Williams’ current run-in with the law was not his first.
The former Indiana Pacer, Dallas Mavericks, New Jersey Nets, New York Knicks, Portland, Trailblazer has had several drug-related arrests in his past. The player’s most-recent arrest occurred as recent as 2010, when he faced felony drug charges for selling a codeine substance.
The story is still developing.

Too bad. The guy looked like he was too hardcore before he beat out Ew jr. and was a major contributor. Thought he had rehabilitated himself.
Once and addict always and addict. Thought he got it together....
It's a damn shame that Shawne keeps getting himself caught up with drama like this. He made some bad decisions, from choosing the Nets over the Knicks to failing to leave the drugs alone.
Donnie Walsh gave him another chance 2 years ago with the Knicks. He was involved with a drug related charge before that. He has ruined his career, at least in the NBA.
Another brother going down for smoking a little bit of pot. LEGALIZE IT ALREADY, stop jailing people for this bullshit
Of Course....
Walsh tried to be DAT Father Figure but the Purp is too much
The purple drank is the more dangerous of the stuff. Plenty of people have offed themselves with it.

Wouldn't say he's an addict- he smokes weed and drinks cough medicine, it's hardly hardcore addiction. Still, it's a shame, I liked how he played for us- guess this explains why he's not been signed by a team (hmm, maybe explains the mysterious 'flu symptoms' upon signing with the nets last season).

Not sure why guys choose to have smoke shows in their cars.

Yep
the pot and crack, coke
& smokin' kills the brain cells & you have the resulting outcome
VERY SAD, and the fact that he still is messing with that syrup is troublesome... wow
I mean, sometimes you gotta sip the sizzurp, don't judge the kid. Come on.
wow, I can't believe how high and mighty some of the posts are

Yeea, and you would be even MORE blown away if you lived in the States. This entire country is a bunch of sleazy weasels. Dollar dollar rules all, morals are just a facade.

Shawne is was in a lot of trouble earlier and it was thought that his career was over because of it. It wasn't a personal use issue like this seems to be. He blew his second chance and i think that is what people are reacting to.
Dude is a moron.
Really driving around with cocaine when you have had previous drug convictions.
Moron!
What a damned shame. Marijuana who gives a shit, but cocaine and cough syrup? And, in my experience, people chugging cough syrup to get high are about one step away from the really hard shit like heroin or crystal meth.
He was just in the wrong state. If he was in COlorado or Washington he would still be only a NBA reject. Now he us a drug user and an NBA reject.

I know there is a more liberal view of marijuana in those states and I think it is almost legal in Colorado but I can't imagine that driving wouldn't be a concern and he was in his car. Codeine cough syrup is troubling.
