From TMZ:
That man is ex-NBA player Kwame Brown … who was busted in Georgia with a bunch of marijuana … including pot-infused cookies, tea, and mints.
The 2001 first overall pick was a passenger in his Mercedes-Benz van when it was pulled over by Brunswick PD late Saturday night … when cops say his car REEKED of weed.
Kwame copped to having weed in the car … and told law enforcement he had some in the trunk of the van. Sure enough, cops found a backpack with all the weed treats.
The 37-year-old was arrested and charged with felony possession of edible marijuana products and misdemeanor possession of less than one ounce of weed.
Brown, who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2001 NBA Draft, played two seasons with the Pistons, averaging 3.8 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. He retired following his 2012-2013 season with the Philadelphia 76ers.
