Nets star James Harden is having an eventful trip to France during his offseason. After being swarmed by paparazzi in a moment that made for a viral video, Harden was stopped by French police on Thursday in a separate incident.
James Harden was briefly searched after police smelled cannabis in a nearby car belonging to Harden’s friend, rapper Lil Baby. Lil Baby was arrested for transporting narcotics after police found more than 20 grams of cannabis, which is an illegal substance in France.
According to an ABC News report, Lil Baby was released from custody on Friday and was fined. One other individual, suspected to be Lil Baby’s bodyguard per a USA TODAY report, was also detained.
