PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -Trail Blazers forward Zach Randolph was charged Tuesday with driving under the influence after an officer said he smelled marijuana in the player’s car.

Randolph was released a few hours after his arrest, just the latest off-court problem for a team trying to improve its image.

Randolph had been pulled over for not driving within a lane when the officer “noted a strong odor of burning marijuana coming from the vehicle,” police Sgt. Cheryl Robinson said.

“Certainly if it turns out that the tests are not what we’d like to see, then, as I said, there will be consequences,” team president Steve Patterson said.

The misdemeanor charge carries a potential sentence of up to one year in jail and up to a $5,000 fine, according to Multnomah County sheriff’s Lt. Mike Shults. Randolph was to be arraigned Dec. 30.

The Blazers have been plagued by a series of arrests and infighting the past few seasons. Bonzi Wells was stripped of his co-captaincy and suspended for two games after cursing at coach Maurice Cheeks. And Damon Stoudamire is facing drug charges.
