Ice May Be Close To Cracking For Pacers’ Williams

Posted by Jeff Sack under NBA Off The Court Issues 

The “Indianapolis Star” reported Sunday, that a passenger of Indianapolis Pacers small forward Shawne Williams was arrested Saturday night for possession of marijuana. Williams and his passenger Darrell Smith Jr. were pulled over by police at about 6:00 pm in Carmel, a northern suburb of Indianapolis. Smith a friend of Williams from his home town of Memphis, Tennessee was arrested after officers found him in possession of a small amount of marijuana. The 21 year old Smith was charged with a misdemeanor and is not in police custody. Williams was written up for a seat belt and window tint violation, but was not arrested.

Pacers team President Larry Bird was none too pleased when he heard the news. He had earlier said that Williams was on “thin ice” with the Pacers, and this latest incident, did not help the player who recently completed his second year in the Association. Bird released a statement through the team that stated “While Shawne Williams was not involved in any arrest or any criminal wrongdoing, we are extremely upset and hugely disappointed he once again has put himself in a position that jeopardizes Shawne’s future as a member of the Indiana Pacers.”
