MIAMI — Minnesota Timberwolves forward Taurean Prince was arrested Thursday in southern Florida on an out-of-state fugitive warrant out of Tarrant County, Texas for "dangerous drugs," according to officials at Miami Dade Corrections Facility, where he is currently being held.
Prince, who recently signed a two-year extension with the Wolves, has not yet been charged.
Police records indicate active warrants were filed by police in Arlington, Texas on July 1 involving an incident on May 19, 2022. The warrant says Prince was arrested for probable cause possession of dangerous drugs and unlawfully carrying a weapon.
Team officials released a statement saying they're aware of the report and are gathering more information.
On Friday, Wolves President of Basketball Operations discussed the arrest, reiterating the team's statement about gathering more information.
"Obviously we are taking these allegations seriously," Connelly said to media. "We are just trying to find more information out. As we find out more, we can speak with more authority, but right now it's kind of fact-finding, and hurry up and wait."
Prince joined the Wolves in August 2021 following a trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
