Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> forward Taurean Prince will not face any charges stemming from drug arrest in Texas earlier this year, TMZ sports learned.<\/p>\n

During a traffic stop in May, police discovered that Prince had two guns, a vape pen cannister and marijuana in his vehicle. The 28-year-old was arrested in August after test results on the cannister were returned.<\/p>\n

Court documents revealed a grand jury’s decision to not charge the NBA<\/a> player with possession of a controlled substance. Prosecutors then dismissed the gun charges after the grand jury’s decision.<\/p>\n

Authorities said Prince was driving with an expired registration when he was pulled over on May 19. Prince did alert officers that two weapons were in the car, police confirmed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The former Baylor standout<\/a> was then told to step out of the vehicle, and officers said a vape pen was found during their search for the guns. The marijuana was then found once authorities conducted an extended search.<\/p>\n

The vape pen was then sent in to be tested. After the results were returned, police obtained a warrant for Prince’s arrest. He was taken into custody in Miami in August.<\/p>\n

Shortly after Prince’s arrest, the Timberwolves released a statement saying, “We are aware of the alleged report regarding Taurean Prince and are in the process of gathering more information.”<\/p>\n

Prince’s legal representatives claimed the officers were not authorized to conduct a vehicle search.<\/p>\n

“The charges were dropped because the search was clearly illegal,” Prince’s attorney, Kent Schaffer, said in a statement to TMZ. “On top of that, carrying a gun is legal in Texas, if not encouraged, and the amount of marijuana alleged to be in the vehicle was probably less than a usable quantity.”<\/p>\n

Neither Prince nor Timberwolves’ officials have commented on the dismissal of the charges.<\/p>\n

Prince was drafted in the first round of the 2016 NBA Draft. He has played for Minnesota since 2021 and has appeared in 15 games this season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
