NBA player Montrezl Harrell is in big trouble after being caught in Kentucky with three pounds of weed in his car.

TMZ says that he was pulled over by a state trooper last month, who immediately smelled the stuff.

From there, the Charlotte Hornets player pulled out a small bag of weed from his pocket. But when cops went into his trunk, they found a bunch of vacuum-sealed bags of weed in a backpack.

Harrell was charged with trafficking less than five pounds of marijuana, a felony, and is facing five years in prison.

Why do you believe he would risk his freedom and career by traveling with all that weed?
