US EditionFormer Sixer Marcus Morris Sr. Arrested on Fraud Charges
- Marcus Morris, a 35-year-old former NBA player, was arrested Sunday at an airport in Broward County, Florida, on fraud charges involving an insufficient funds check.
- The arrest followed an outstanding marker issue with a casino, and Morris is currently held without bond while still on an out-of-state hold linked to another case.
- Morris, a 13-year NBA veteran who was selected in the 2011 draft, most recently competed during the 2023-24 season and has previously encountered legal troubles, including a 2012 battery charge and a 2015 assault case in which he was acquitted.
- His brother Markieff Morris encouraged people to hold off judgment until the full details are revealed, while Morris himself acknowledged the situation as a learning experience and indicated the allegation is less severe than it may initially appear.
- The incident suggests ongoing legal complications for Morris but may involve misunderstandings since his agent denies any fraud or fake check issues related to the arrest.
