MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -Former University of Memphis basketball players Shawne Williams and Kareem Cooper have been arrested after police found marijuana and a loaded gun in the car they were traveling in.
Memphis police say they pulled over the Dodge Charger on Friday because Williams wasn’t wearing a seat belt. He was charged with driving on a suspended license.
Police then searched the car and say they found more than 17 grams of marijuana and a gun on Cooper.
Williams was a first-round draft pick in 2006, but his professional career has been marred by numerous off-court issues, arrests and weight problems.
Police did not immediately return messages about whether the two men have attorneys.
