Florida State basketball recruit Cinmeon Bowers was arrested along with two other people after a traffic stop where they tried to eat their weed to hide it from the police. According to the Jackson County Floridian:
According to the Marianna Police Department, at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Jan. 16, officers conducted a traffic stop on a 2010 black KIA passenger car for a speeding violation. Upon making contact with the driver, officers could smell the odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle.
An agency press release indicates that, upon further investigation, MPD learned that the three passengers in the vehicle — Cinmeon Bowers, 20, of Racine, Wis.; Jamaar McKay-Taylor, 19, of Milwaukee, Wis.; and Torian Graham, 20, of Hillsborough, N.C. — had eaten the marijuana in an attempt to conceal it from officers.
Bowers is one of the top JUCO prospects in the country averaging 14.8 points and 8.8 rebounds this season as a sophomore at Chipola College.
Is it just me or do there seem to be more stories of people eating weed to hide it from the police? All three players have been suspended indefinitely.
