Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
RADNOR, Pa., Sept. 14 (UPI) -- A judge in a Philadelphia suburb has dismissed marijuana and pellet-gun charges against Charlotte Bobcats forward Dante Cunningham.
Cunningham paid a $225 fine Tuesday in district court for motor vehicle violations, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. His lawyer, Theodore Simon, said the penalty covered "unreasonable noise" produced by his silver customized pickup truck and its overly wide wheels and bumper that was too high.
"The car's a diesel," Simon told the Inquirer in a phone interview. "It makes a lot of noise."
Cunningham, 24, of West Linn, Ore., was a basketball star at Villanova University in Radnor before joining the Bobcats. He was arrested in Radnor in April, and police said they found a partly smoked marijuana cigarette in the vehicle along with a small pipe and other paraphernalia and the loaded pellet gun.
