Former Michigan State University basketball star Keith Appling was sentenced to 18 months of probation in a drug case in Macomb County.
Appling, 28, was arrested Feb. 8 after being stopped by police on Dequindre Road in Warren, Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer previously told the Free Press.
He confirmed that officers saw Appling's vehicle weaving in and out of lanes and pulled over the Detroit native. Appling was sweating and unsteady. Dwyer said a golf ball-sized amount — 19 grams — of heroin was found in a sandwich bag in a pocket of the car.
