Mavericks’ Brandon Williams Apologizes After DFW Marijuana Arrest

He addressed reporters before Wednesday’s game after police said TSA found about 1.5 ounces of marijuana in his suitcase at DFW.

Overview

  • Incident reports state TSA flagged a black container in Williams’ bag at DFW Terminal C on Saturday, with testing indicating roughly 1.3 to 1.585 ounces of marijuana.
  • Police charged Williams with possession of marijuana under two ounces, a misdemeanor under Texas law.
  • Williams told authorities the suitcase was his but said his manager packed it, and he later apologized publicly for being a distraction and said he takes responsibility.
  • Williams was available against the Pacers on Wednesday and logged 20 points in a 107-105 Dallas win, according to subsequent game reports.
  • The Mavericks declined substantive comment, Jason Kidd said the team will support Williams, and the situation clouds short-term guard depth with injuries already limiting the position.
