According to the cops, Shumpert’s car reeked of weed and his eyes were bloodshot.
The Cleveland Cavaliers say they’re monitoring the case.
Per TMZ:
Shumpert told the cop he had just come from his “homegirl’s house” and was going to pick up his father from the airport. […] The cop administered a field sobriety test and determined Shumpert was high. Shumpert also admitted he had smoked weed before leaving his friend’s house.
Cops searched the car and found a mason jar with marijuana. […] Cops wanted to perform a blood test on Shumpert but he refused — claiming, “people would recognize him and it would cause a scene.”
The Cavs issued a statement saying they have discussed the situation with Iman and “will monitor the progression of the pending case.” […] “A court date has not been set at this point, and neither Iman or the team will have any additional comments while the matter progresses through the legal process.”
