COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso was arrested by the Texas A&M police and charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana - less than 2 ounces - on Tuesday. Both are misdemeanor charges.

Brazos County Jail records show Caruso was booked on Tuesday and released the same day. He posted a $552 bond.

According to Lt. Bobby Richardson of the Texas A&M Police Department, Caruso about 2 p.m. Tuesday attempted to board a flight at Easterwood Airport, which is located on property owned by Texas A&M.

When a TSA agent searched Caruso’s bags, an herb grinder containing marijuana was discovered. Lt. Richardson said the grinder contained a "useable amount of marijuana."

Caruso, born and raised in College Station, played basketball at Texas A&M before he was picked up by the Lakers.​

Caruso, 27, currently an unrestricted free agent, signed with the Lakers in 2017.
