Keon Clark ticketed for marijuana possession
July 30, 2002
DANVILLE, Ill. (AP) -- Free-agent center Keon Clark was cited for marijuana possession and must appear in court next month.
Clark, 27, was ticketed at 10:50 p.m. on Sunday for having about a gram of marijuana in his car, city attorney David Wesner said. Clark, formerly of the Toronto Raptors, was not arrested.
He will appear in Danville Municipal Court on Aug. 22, and if found guilty, Clark could be fined between $250 and $1,500.
Wesner said Clark was cited about two years ago for a similar offense. The citations will not appear on criminal records because they are dealt with in local courts, Wesner said.
Clark played for the Raptors for two seasons, and he became a free agent July 22 after the team rescinded an offer to extend his contract.
He averaged 11.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.9 blocks last year.
