Ex-NBA forward and Starkville, Mississippi native Travis Outlaw is under “investigation for a possible scheduled narcotics violation.”
According to the Clarion Ledger, Outlaw is believed to have received “approximately a pound or less” of marijuana in the mail.
The officials asked that they and their agencies not be named at this time. The investigation, which reportedly began as a joint effort, is currently taking place in Oktibbeha County, the law enforcement officials said. Outlaw has not been arrested, according to records at the Oktibbeha County Jail.
