Former NBA guard Iman Shumpert was arrested on felony drug charges after authorities allegedly found marijuana in his bag at the Dallas\/Fort Worth Airport over the weekend.<\/p>\n

TMZ Sports reported police said Shumpert was carrying 6.12 ounces of a substance that tested positive for marijuana. The police report said Shumpert admitted to carrying marijuana.<\/p>\n

Several states have legalized recreational marijuana and medical marijuana is legal in Texas. However, marijuana remains illegal on a federal level, which has jurisdiction over airports and air travel. TSA officers that find drugs are required to report their findings to authorities.<\/p>\n

Shumpert, 32, faces up to two years in jail and a $10,000 fine if convicted on felony charges. He has not played in the NBA since a two-game stint with the Brooklyn Nets in 2020-21.<\/p>\n

The 2016 NBA champion averaged 7.2 points and 3.3 rebounds with five teams over the course of 10 NBA seasons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
