Sports Illustrated reported that former NBA player and champion with the Boston Celtics, Glen “Big Baby” Davis was arrested in February on drug charges and charged on seven counts of drug possession and distribution after being caught selling drugs out of a Hampton Inn Hotel.
The hotel owner smelled the strong marijuana odor emanating from his room and got the police involved. Upon searching Davis’ room, police found 126 grams of marijuana and according to Aberdeen Police Lieutenant William Reiber, “In addition to that, there was a briefcase that contained 92,164 dollars of U.S. currency along with a ledger that contained language which is consistent with someone involved in the sale and distribution of narcotics.”
