Report: Laurence Maroney Released, Not Charged After Arrest in St. Louis

Laurence Maroney has been released from police custody and won't be charged with any offense, his representative said in a publicized statement.

"Mr. Maroney was unlawfully arrested for possession of weapons.

"He was not arrested for any drugs nor was he involved in a high-speed chase. He was released without being charged with any offense and we do not anticipate he will be charged with any criminal offense."

TMZ.com also learned from St. Louis police that Maroney was in a vehicle with five other people when a police officer pulled them over for appearing to be smoking marijuana. Maroney told police that he was carrying a weapon, for which he owned a permit, according to 9News.com.
