Popular Basketball player Taurean Prince of the Minnesota Timberwolves was arrested after a fugitive warrant was issued against his name. Taurean Prince was arrested at the Miami International Airport. Reports also stated that the player was first taken to the Turner Knight Correctional Centre near the airport immediately after his arrest. He was booked at the Miami-Dade County Jail just before 6 pm.

Why was a warrant issued against the Taurean Prince?
A fugitive warrant was issued against Taurean Prince after he left Texas, his home state. Apparently, while Prince was in Texas last year, he was booked after drug traces were found on his person when he was stopped at a traffic signal.

After the charges were filed, Prince left Texas and came to Miami. As such, a fugitive warrant was issued in his name.


Reacting to Prince’s arrest, his team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, stated that they knew about the reports surrounding Prince. However, the team was gathering more information on the matter.
