The thin ice Shawne Williams is standing on with the Indiana Pacers could be getting ready to break. For the third time since Sept. 2007, one of Williams' associates from his hometown of Memphis has encountered legal trouble in Indianapolis. Friday afternoon, Carmel police arrested Darrell Smith Jr., 21, a passenger in the car Williams was driving, after discovering Smith had a small amount of marijuana, Lt. Jeff Horner of the Carmel Police Dept. said. "Shawne Williams was not charged with anything," Horner said. "He was given a window tint and seat belt violation. Smith's marijuana charge is a misdemeanor." In February, a man wanted on murder charges in Memphis, Tenn., was arrested after leaving Williams' home in a truck registered to Williams. The man, Gary Bohannon, also was with Williams when Williams was stopped for driving without a license Sept. 11, 2007. Bohannon was found guilty of marijuana possession from that traffic stop. Williams apologized last year, saying he needed to make better choices.

What a dumbass. I get so tired of hearing about these stupid, law-breaking gangster-wanna-be thugs who think they are entitled to do anything they want. I wish the major sports would all implement one-year bans for arrests like this.

Tell it like it is

This hurts his trade stock. I'm surprise he hasn't been suspended for failing a drug test. This is the 2nd or 3rd time he's been arrested for it.

Seriously these racism charges need to stop. Wasn't it King that asked for a man to be judged by the content of his character? Harboring a suspected murderer and being arrested on drug charges is more than enough to classify someone as a thug. Enough with this rasist crap and lets talk about sports.

If Travis Diener's friend was arrested outside of his house for murder, was arrested for having unliscensed gun and drugs multiple times, then he would be a thug.
