Gun-Toting Clippers Player Amir Coffey Hit With Two Misdemeanors
This Clippers player had a different kind of shootin' in mind. (Nothing serious, of course.) Clippers forward Amir Coffey received two criminal charges after being found with a loaded gun in his vehicle and seemingly high on weed in late July.
According to TMZ, "the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office has filed one count of carrying a loaded firearm and one count of carrying a concealed firearm against Coffey."
Coffey's car rolled through Los Angeles when a cop pulled him over for speeding around 2:30 a.m. (PST) on July 30.
L.A. authorities pulled Coffey's vehicle over and searched it when they detected a strong smell of marijuana. Coffey was not driving the vehicle, as OutKick's David Hookstead noted.

Cops arrested Coffey and the 26-year-old spent several hours in jail before being released on $10,000 bail.

Last season, Coffey played in 50 games. He averaged 3.4 points, 1.1. rebounds and 12.5 minutes per game.
