LOCHBUIE, Colo. (AP) - Police found marijuana in Carmelo Anthony's car during a traffic stop, but the Denver Nuggets star wasn't in the vehicle at the time, officers said Tuesday.
Anthony and team officials refused to comment. Anthony is set to sign an $80 million, five-year contract extension on Wednesday.
Police said Tyler Brandon Smith, who identified himself as Anthony's friend and roommate, was pulled over late Sunday in this small town 20 miles northeast of Denver and cited for marijuana possession and three traffic infractions.
