Taurean Prince had been stopped by Texas police back in May.

Minnesota Timberwolves star Taurean Prince was arrested in Miami last night, according to TMZ Sports. In the report, it was revealed that the arrest stemmed from an outstanding warrant in Texas, where Prince had been stopped by police back in May. At the time of this traffic stop, authorities found what they called "dangerous drugs" in the car.

According to an update from the player's rep Cathy Cardenas, Prince had been found with a marijuana device in the car. With that being said, it is hard to see how police could label this as "dangerous drugs" given the fact that it's just weed.
