The Cleveland Cavaliers announced on Friday that Iman Shumpert was arrested last month for suspicion of driving while under the influence during a traffic stop in Georgia.
“Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert was arrested by Fayette County (Ga.) Police outside Atlanta for suspicion of DUI following an Aug. 10 traffic stop for a lane violation,” the statement read. “The Cavaliers have discussed the situation with Iman and will monitor the progression of the pending case. A court date has not been set at this point, and neither Iman or the team will have any additional comments while the matter progresses through the legal process.”
According to a report from TMZ, the arresting officer said Shumpert smelled of marijuana and his eyes were bloodshot. After failing a field sobriety test, the 26-year-old admitted he had smoked marijuana at a friend’s house.
Shumpert refused a blood test, claiming “people would recognize him and it would cause a scene.” Police found a mason jar with marijuana inside when they searched his vehicle, and Shumpert was arrested for DUI and weed possession. He also received a citation for failing to stay in his lane.
All we can hope for is that Shumpert wasn’t under the influence when he played doctor at his house last year. That would be a terrifying thought.
