Jeremiah Davenport (who is 25) had a night to remember during the NBA Draft in Brooklyn, NY, but not because he was selected by any team.

The former college basketball player who suited up for the Cincinnati Bearcats and Arkansas Razorbacks was in Washington Heights with an unnamed, 24-year-old friend in the early hours of June 29. Both men were in a BMW X5 with tinted windows that was double-parked at the northwest corner of Nagel Avenue and West 204th Street, according to the New York Post.

When the responding police knocked on the window of the car (which had tinted windows), they immediately smelled marijuana and saw a loaded firearm in plain sight behind the passenger’s seat. Davenport failed to produce any form of identification when asked, and was arrested thereafter.

Later, he was charged with criminal possession of a loaded firearm, unlawful possession of an ammo feed device, and tinted window.

However, he was released on his own recognizance, and his lawyer, Russel Novack, told Judge Marva Brown “there were serious search issues” with the case.

Davenport declined to comment.

The graduate senior guard averaged five points per game in 31 appearances for the Razorbacks last year.
