PORTLAND, Ore. - Portland Trail Blazers forward Zach Randolph was a passenger of a driver cited for racing in downtown Portland early Thursday, police said.
Taquan Portis, 22, was cited for speed racing, careless driving, failure to obey a traffic signal and no front plate — all traffic violations. He is scheduled to appear in court July 6.
Portis was driving a Dodge Magnum registered to Randolph when the two were pulled over about 3:15 a.m.
Police found two loaded handguns in the car, but Randolph was not cited because he has a concealed weapons permit for the firearms, said Officer Catherine Kent, a Portland police spokeswoman.
Officers estimated the car was racing at 50 to 60 mph in a 20 mph zone, Kent said.
The Trail Blazers issued a statement that said the team would conduct its own investigation into the incident.
