Montrezl Harrell, an NBA forward, has been charged with drug trafficking after officers say they discovered 3 pounds of marijuana in his vehicle during a traffic stop in May.

According to the Charlotte Observer, the 28-year-old was pulled over by a Kentucky highway patrolman around 10 a.m. on May 12 for driving too close to the vehicle in front of him in a 2020 Honda Pilot rental and police assert that they smelled weed during the stop.

According to the report, Harrell confessed to having weed on him and managed to pull a “small amount” from his jogging pants but when cops started searching the vehicle, they claim to have discovered a backpack containing 3 pounds of weed in vacuum-sealed pouches.

Harrell’s arraignment was scheduled for Monday morning.

Harrell — who played college ball at the University of Louisville — was charged with trafficking less than five pounds of marijuana … a Class D felony for first-time offenders that could result in up to five years behind bars and a fine.

Harrell — an upcoming free agent — averaged 14 points and nearly 7 rebounds a game for the Charlotte Hornets this past season.
