Iman Shumpert of the Charlotte Hornets was arrested overnight after their victory over the Thunder in Oklahoma City. Shumpert who has seen limited time this year had only played 9 minutes in the game scoring 7 points and grabbing 4 rebounds. Shumpert was charged with driving under the influence and possession of marijuana. Shumpert was seen swerving in and out of lanes after leaving Night Trips, an Oklahoma City Adult Entertainment club.
When Shumpert was pulled over at 2:20 AM, he failed the field sobriety test. When his car was searched, a backpack containing an undisclosed amount of marijuana was found in the trunk. Bail was posted and Shumpert was released in the early hours of the morning.
GM RiotPunch was unavailable at the time of this article for comment. Unconfirmed reports state that Shumpert was heard saying he used the marijuana for medicinal purposes as he has a cataract, which may explain his woeful shooting percentage from the floor so far this season.
