Prince is subject to extradition following charges of unlawful carrying of a weapon, possession of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance. Prince was stopped by police in Dallas last May for expired tags. He was found carrying handguns, a vape with THC oil and marijuana. The lab analysis of the vape pen was released late, which is the reason for the delayed arrest. The former Baylor University star was held at the Miami-Dade County Corrections Department on Thursday night. He was granted a $2,500 bond the following day. The Minnesota Timberwolves issued a press release following the arrest: “We are aware of the alleged report regarding Taurean Prince and are in the process of gathering more information,” the statement read.

Only the first year of the deal, however, is guaranteed per Spotrac. Taurean Prince s situation will become clearer in the coming weeks Taurean Prince’s attorney, Kent Schaffer, told People Magazine: “Apparently in the last week and a half, they issued a warrant for his arrest because they recovered 1/100th of an ounce of THC, which is probably the smallest amount you can have." Schaeffer added: "The only reason we knew [warrant] was because he was going out of the country for vacation. He was in the [Miami International] Airport and his name came up showing that there was a warrant and they took him into custody."
