The thin ice Shawne Williams is standing on with the Indiana Pacers could be getting ready to break. For the third time since Sept. 2007, one of Williams’ associates from his hometown of Memphis has encountered legal trouble in Indianapolis. Friday afternoon, Carmel police arrested Darrell Smith Jr., 21, a passenger in the car Williams was driving, after discovering Smith had a small amount of marijuana, Lt. Jeff Horner of the Carmel Police Dept. said. “Shawne Williams was not charged with anything,” Horner said. “He was given a window tint and seat belt violation. Smith’s marijuana charge is a misdemeanor.” In February, a man wanted on murder charges in Memphis, Tenn., was arrested after leaving Williams’ home in a truck registered to Williams. The man, Gary Bohannon, also was with Williams when Williams was stopped for driving without a license Sept. 11, 2007. Bohannon was found guilty of marijuana possession from that traffic stop. Williams apologized last year, saying he needed to make better choices.
