The Georgia Department of Public Safety is investigating a traffic stop last week involving Charlottean Anthony Morrow, a nine-season NBA veteran.
Morrow, 31, who starred at Charlotte Latin before playing for Georgia Tech, told the Observer on Sunday he believes he was racially profiled when he was pulled over along Interstate 85 near Commerce, Ga. In a phone interview with the Observer, Morrow said he felt “humiliated” by the two troopers who searched his car, a Dodge Challenger.
In a press release issued Tuesday, the Georgia agency said, “a formal investigation has been initiated to determine the facts surrounding the traffic stop, and the results of the investigation will be made public at its conclusion.
