NBA: Houston's Reed arrested for marijuana possession
Associated Press
JACKSON, Miss. — Houston Rockets swingman Justin Reed was released today after his arrest on a marijuana charge.
Reed was arrested last night in Jackson. He was released from the Hinds County jail early Wednesday, said Capt. Ken Magee of the Hinds County Sheriff's Department.
Reed was charged with misdemeanor possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, which carries a fine from $100 to $250. No date has been set for his appearance in Hinds County court.
In June, Reed and point guard Mike James were traded from the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Rockets in a deal that sent Juwan Howard to Minnesota.
Reed, who played at Mississippi, averaged 2.6 points and 1.1 rebounds in 41 games last season for the Timberwolves.
