The man was pulled over in Michigan after failing to stop at an intersection. He was arrested after a gun was found during a traffic stop.
The former Memphis player returned to his hometown in Michigan after transferring to Eastern Michigan.
He was a highly recruited recruit. He was listed as the top player in any class when he was a sophomore.
