Carmelo Anthony faces pot charge
Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony faces a petty-offense charge after marijuana was found in his backpack during a search at Denver International Airport last week.
"He is innocent of these charges," his attorney, Dan Recht, said Wednesday night. "He's devastated by these charges. He feels an obligation to his fans. He has been an upstanding member of the Nuggets and will continue to be."
Anthony faces a charge of possession of less than 1 ounce of marijuana. The marijuana allegedly was found in a side pocket when the backpack was hand-searched before the Nuggets boarded a team flight to Milwaukee for a preseason game.
The flight left from Signature Flight Support at DIA. Recht said a male friend of Anthony's is expected to make a statement today taking claim for the marijuana.
Anthony declined to comment through team spokesperson Teri Washington.
