Newly signed Brooklyn Net Kenneth Faried was busted for marijuana possession during a weekend sobriety checkpoint on Long Island, according to reports.
The 28-year-old — nicknamed “The Manimal” — was arrested on the Montauk Highway in Bridgehampton at 1:30 a.m. Sunday, according to TMZ.
The officer at the scene in Suffolk County noticed that a “strong odor of marjuana was emanating from the inside of the vehicle,” a Southampton police spokesman told the news site.
Faried was charged with fourth-degree unlawful possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor, and taken to a nearby police station for processing.
