Kemp in Hemp Bust

kemp.jpgFive-time All-Star and former Sonics great Shawn Kemp and a friend got tagged for keeping things a little too Seattle this morning. He was arrested for marijuana and cocaine posession after a cop smelled the chronic that Seattlest imagines was pouring from their pickup's windows Cheech and Chong style. The officer approached Kemp and his friend while they were standing around next to the truck in a Shoreliine parking lot.

According to some reports Kemp could face felony drug charges for "a small amount" of coke and about 60 grams of marijuana. The handgun that was also found in the truck is not going to help. Kemp has an unfortunate past involving various drugs and was suspended three times from the NBA for drug use.
