A CID Hold is when the government thinks you’re going to destroy evidence.

Sounds like he might be in some hot water.

Edit: in this case it might be because the State wants to call in the Federal government about his immigration status/work permit.

He probably just committed multiple felonies.

Edit2: they updated the charges and hit him with fleeing and trafficking.

29 year old rotation player with a history of serious injuries that relied on outhustling and outworking people. Seems like a well-liked guy but I’m not sure how many more chances in the NBA that kind of profile gets if it’s anything serious.

The local newspaper reported that the arrest was for controlled substances, so I’m pretty confident dude was just making a weed run to Missouri. Brandon Clarke is literally the last guy to be a “troublemaker” (he’s actually pretty dorky - and I mean that in a positive way)

It’s on a popular route for Memphians picking up weed in recreational Missouri. Probably saw his license plate making a quick return trip on a Flock cam. I worry that the CID hold is for getting immigration involved, since he is Canadian.

Probably trafficking because he went from a state where weed is legal recreationally (Missouri) to illegal (Arkansas)

Significant-Moose171

1 | 14 minutes ago

That’s bizarre. In Arkansas, there’s no discretion left to law enforcement. Trafficking is purely a weight thing.

Arkansas is king of inflating simple possession charges with “intent to deliver,” but “trafficking” in Arkansas is something else.

Yes, Brandon Clarke decided to speed and evade the police with a controlled substance because Ja Morant did something dumb three years ago. I believe that you believe that to be true. Not because Brandon Clarke just might be an idiot on his own merit, but because of Ja. That’s why I say you’re dickriding

CapnChronic88 | Cavaliers

Yes they continue to break laws because history has shown that the team will not have them face repercussions. JA has shown you dont need to grow up and that its ok to act like this. Great leadership.

Its ok if you like to Dickride enablers and bad leaders.

butidktho_ | NBA

sure, i believe it if you do. A grown man decided to break a law because another grown man did something stupid three years ago. Not because he just might be stupid too, but because another grown man did it first.

Dickriding.

Right.. If you saw your teammate get away with worse things and not face any consequences and continue to act the same way.. I bet you’re not gonna feel like you can for something less.

Well, no. If I see a coworker do something stupid and not face consequences, it won’t entice me to also do something stupid. Main reason being, is that i’m not an idiot.

Yes he is a grown man who obviously makes his own decisions. Doesnt mean he didnt see what his Teammate and Leader got away with. Which emboldened him to make his own dumb decisions knowing he wont face any consequences.
