Ten years after Sebastian Telfair’s arrest for criminal possession of a weapon, the former NBA athlete has been detained again on Sunday morning (June 11), after NYPD officials found a slew of firearms and drugs in a Ford truck. The discovery was made during a traffic stop.
According to TMZ, Jami Thomas, 18, was arrested alongside Telfair in Brooklyn, New York. It’s unclear what the arsenal was meant to be used for, but Pix 11 reporter Myles Miller tweeted a photo of the artillery that was confiscated by law enforcement.
