Mercury star Brittney Griner arrested in Russia

From CNN -

New York Times: Brittney Griner, two-time Olympic gold medalist and WNBA all-star, arrested in Russia on drug charges

Brittney Griner, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and seven-time Women's National Basketball Association All-Star with the Phoenix Mercury basketball team, has been arrested in Russia after customs officials detected cannabis oil in her luggage at an airport near Moscow, The New York Times reported.

The Russian news agency TASS cited a law enforcement source identifying the American woman who was arrested on drug charges as 31-year-old Griner, upon arriving from New York, the report said.

I truly don't know if Griner was in possession of anything that's considered to be illegal under Russian law, but I will say this -


Russian authorities have something of a credibility problem.


I can also say this -


It is time for all Americans, non-celebrities, minor celebrities, and major celebrities, to leave Russia, Ukraine, and any Russia-controlled countries and/or not travel to the same.
