Lakers News: Alex Caruso Arrested For Marijuana Possession In Texas

According to the Brazos County Texas jail search results website, Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso was arrested for possession of marijuana by the Texas A&M University police on Tuesday night.

The 27-year-old paid two separate cash bonds/fines totaling $3,552 to be released on the same day he was arrested.

Caruso was born and raised in College Station, Texas and attended Texas A&M for four years from 2012-16 before eventually making it to the NBA and becoming a fan-favorite with the Lakers.

The NBA used to test for marijuana and it is still technically on the banned substance list, but they stopped testing before the Orlando Bubble last year and it has remained suspended since due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
