After participating in the Playa Grande golf tournament, NBA basketball player Chris Webber was arrested upon entering San Juan, Puerto Rico for the possession of 11 grams of marijuana in his luggage. A customs dog on a routine inspection in the transit lounge at the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport made the discovery. Webber was briefly detained and fined US$500. He then continued traveling to Barbados. He was scheduled to play in a fund-raiser game Monday in Barbados. However, an official with the Barbados Amateur Basketball Association, but press reports said he did not play. Webber has had legal problems in the past. He was recently traded from the Washington Wizards to Sacramento. Webber is awaiting trial for a January arrest that stemmed from a traffic stop on his way to practice with the Wizards in Maryland. He faces charges of marijuana possession, second-degree assault and resisting arrest.
