NBA Player Malik Beasley Arrested For Drug And Weapons Possession

The Minnesota Timberwolves guard was taken into custody Saturday night.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley was released from jail on Sunday (Sept. 27) after a Saturday (Sept. 27) night arrest for the possession of narcotics and receiving and/or concealing property.

Minnesota’s Plymouth Police Department said its officers responded to Beasley’s residence on a reported weapons offense, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.

The individuals called the police said that they had stopped their car in front of a house and a suspect walked up to their vehicle, tapped on the vehicle window, pointed a gun at them and told them to get off of the property.
 

The responding officers said they established a perimeter to try and locate the suspect when they smelled marijuana.

A vehicle attempted to leave the property but was stopped by police. Three people in the car were detained and later released. A man, believed to be Beasley, was outside yelling at the officers and identified himself as the homeowner.

The police obtained a search warrant for the house and found narcotics and numerous guns, including one of which was confirmed as stolen. They took Beasley, 23, into custody.
