"Michael Beasley, who had hoped to put marijuana issues behind him when he came to the Timberwolves last year, was ticketed June 26 for allegedly speeding and having marijuana in his car, according to police.

Beasley, who told police that the marijuana belonged to a friend, according to the police report, appears safe from any potential action by the team or the NBA with the league in lockout mode. But a prosecutor said Wednesday he'll take Beasley back to court after the 22-year-old allegedly violated terms of an earlier plea deal.

Beasley had been placed on probation for a year in March in Hennepin County but agreed to a deal to dismiss the charges if he could go 12 months without a traffic violation.

But about 3:14 a.m. June 26, a Minnetonka police officer on Interstate 394 spotted Beasley's car allegedly going 84 mph in a 65-mph zone. When the officer stopped the player's black 2009 Dodge Charger, the officer said, he smelled marijuana.

Officers searched the car and said they found a bag containing 16.2 grams (about a half-ounce) of marijuana under the front passenger seat - a discovery that elicited an expletive from Beasley, according to the police report.

Beasley, the officer later wrote, "appeared overly nervous while I searched his vehicle."

Golden Valley City Prosecutor Francis Rondoni said that, because of the new charges, he'll seek to send Beasley back to court for re-sentencing on the March case and that this time "we may not be so lenient with him."

Emanuel Serstock, the Minnetonka attorney who has represented Beasley in other traffic cases, did not immediately return a call for comment. Timberwolves spokesman Mike Cristaldi said nobody in the organization can comment because of the lockout, instituted by the league when its collective bargaining agreement expired June 30. "
