Just as NBA teams gear up for the upcoming season, veteran forward Marcus Morris Sr. has found himself making headlines for all the wrong reasons—this time, not for basketball, but for legal trouble in Florida.
Arrested in Florida Over Alleged Check Fraud
Over the weekend, Morris was arrested in Broward County, Florida.
According to police records, he’s facing a felony charge for allegedly writing a check without having enough funds to cover it.
The official charge? Fraud – Writing a Check with Insufficient Funds.
Legal Trouble Crosses State Lines
What makes this even more complicated is that the case doesn’t even originate in Florida.
Authorities say Morris is being held in connection with charges from a different state, though it’s not clear which one is pursuing the case.
That key detail is still under wraps for now.
Arrest May Have Happened at the Airport
Based on available records, it looks like Morris was taken into custody at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
Whether he was just arriving or heading out isn’t known yet—but that’s where the situation seems to have escalated.
No Word Yet From Morris or His Team
So far, Morris’ reps haven’t made any public comment on the arrest or the charges.
DailyMail.com has reportedly reached out for a response, but nothing has been released as of now.
More Details Expected Soon
With Morris currently in custody and legal questions swirling across state lines, there’s still plenty we don’t know.
Updates are expected in the coming days as more information surfaces about the case and which state is bringing the charge against him.
