TMZ detailed that police responded to a possible drug violation call
when TSA screeners found a plastic sack filled with "green stuff."
According to reports, Schumpert believed that the substance under his control was weed.
Despite that 6.12 ounces of weed, Schumpert is said to have had a
Glock magazine and 149mm bullets under his control, yet he did not have a gun.
Schumpert is reportedly being charged with a "state prison felony"
that could face up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Schumpert was sent to the Air Terminal Jail without incident.
As the reports indicated, Schumpert told police that he was on his
way to Los Angeles to pick up his little girl and, while cycling, asked
officers "in the event that there was a way to make his flight."
