New details have emerged regarding Minnesota Timberwolves forward Taurean Prince’s arrest earlier in the week.
Prince was arrested at Miami International Airport on Thursday due to a fugitive warrant in Texas. Prince’s arrest was reported to relate to “dangerous drugs,” and a new report has offered further information on what that means.
According to Seth Kaplan of Fox 9 in Minnesota, Prince was pulled over for an expired registration, and told officers he had two legally owned guns in his car. Officers found a vape pen and marijuana in the vehicle, and it is illegal in Texas to carry a gun while engaging in a criminal offense.
Prince was the No. 12 pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, and is entering his second season with the Timberwolves. The 28-year-old averaged 7.3 points and 2.5 rebounds per game in reserve duty last season, and signed a two-year, $14 million extension in June.
