Ex-NBA forward Davis faces drug charges

Davis, 32, was indicted on seven counts of drug possession and distribution
after a Hampton Inn franchise owner called police Feb. 7 and said he smelled
marijuana coming from a room. Police said they found 126 grams of marijuana
and a briefcase containing $92,164 in cash when they searched Davis' room.
They also found a ledger containing names and money owed "consistent with
someone involved in the sale and distribution of narcotics."

Davis' attorney told the TV station that his client maintains his innocence.
He plans to fight the charges in court.

The 6-foot-9, 289-pound power forward spent eight seasons in the NBA with the
Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Clippers. He averaged 8.0 points
and 4.4 rebounds in 514 regular-season games and appeared in 96 postseason
contests.
