CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. - A relative of Allen Iverson was one of three juveniles arrested after police found drugs and guns in a car registered to the Philadelphia 76ers star, authorities said.

Authorities believe Iverson, who has not been accused of any wrongdoing, may have given or loaned the car, a 2005 Ford Mustang, to the relative.

“The car was this kid’s car for this kid’s use,” said Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce Castor. “We’re confident that there’s no criminal activity on Iverson’s part.”

Castor said authorities were not sure how the two were related.

The juveniles were arrested April 12 after police responding to a call found a group of teenagers near the car in Conshohocken, a Philadelphia suburb. Inside the vehicle, police said they found bags of drugs and two handguns.

The 76ers declined to comment on the arrests. The names of the juveniles were not released.
