Former North Carolina basketball player Will Graves faces misdemeanor drug charges after police found marijuana and drug paraphernalia at a residence owned by coach Roy Williams.
Police in Chapel Hill cited Graves on Dec. 6 with simple marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia. Team spokesman Steve Kirschner said Friday that Graves was paying rent to stay at the home while working toward his degree and as a part-time video coordinator for the team during the fall semester.
In a statement released by the school Friday night, Graves apologized to Williams, the school, family and friends ''for the negative attention I have brought upon them.''
