The offseason is off to the wrong start for Hornets forward Montrezl Harrell.

Per Rod Boone of The Charlotte Observer, Harrell was pulled over in Richmond, Kentucky where the state trooper found ‘three pounds of marijuana in vacuum sealed bag.’

Trooper Jesse Owens stated he “upon stop observed odor of marijuana” from the silver 2020 Honda Pilot that Harrell was driving, according to the citation. Harrell, Owens wrote in the report, “admitted to being in possession of marijuana and produced a small amount from his sweatpants.” During a subsequent search of the vehicle, which the report states Harrell claims was rented, “three pounds of marijuana in vacuum sealed bags” were found in a backpack in the back seat, according to the citation. He’s been charged with trafficking less than five pounds of marijuana.

Boone added that under Kentucky law, the offense is ‘punishable by 1-5 years of incarceration with a fine ranging from $1,00 to $10,000.’

Harrell is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent next month.
