Michael Porter Jr. Nearly Arrested in Cabo After Weed Found in Backpack

Michael Porter Jr. nearly got arrested about two years ago when weed was found in his backpack after he flew to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, according to fadeawayworld.net. The Brooklyn Nets forward recounted the scare on the latest episode of the Curious Mike show. “I almost got arrested going to Cabo,” Porter said.

Porter said he flew private and “accidentally brought some weed in my backpack from someone that worked for me.” The bag went through a scanner, and the weed was found. “I thought it was wraps,” he said. “There’s certain countries you don’t [want to get caught].”

Bringing cannabis into Mexico is a federal crime, and the average visitor might have ended up behind bars. The exact date of the incident is not specified in the source; it is only described as “about two years ago.”

Porter was not your average visitor, though. He was let go after a single phone call. “Someone from the jet company or my agent or someone called someone, and then they just dropped it,” he said.

Before that call came through, the police made the stakes clear. They told him he was going to jail and suggested he try bribing whoever transported him there. Porter’s reaction was blunt: “I’m tripping, bro.”

THE POLICE SUGGESTION

The police made the stakes clear before that call ever happened. They told Porter he was going to jail and suggested he try bribing whoever transported him there. Porter’s reaction was blunt: “I’m tripping, bro.”

He didn’t have to pay anyone. The situation collapsed after a single phone call, with Porter saying, “Someone from the jet company or my agent or someone called someone, and then they just dropped it.”

The exact identity of that caller is not confirmed. Porter only knows it was “someone from the jet company or my agent or someone,” and he never had to find out more.
