Phoenix Suns forward Michael Beasley was arrested on Tuesday morning on suspicion of marijuana possession, according to 12News in Phoenix. It's not clear at this point how much marijuana Beasley supposedly had on him:

Beasley has been dogged by marijuana issues throughout his NBA career. He has been involved in several incidents since he was a rookie, and checked into a rehab clinic in 2009, though it wasn't mentioned specifically if his stay was related to marijuana.
Beasley is entering the second year of a three year, $18 million deal with Phoenix he signed prior to the 2012-13 season. He averaged 10.1 points and 3.8 rebounds per game in 75 games this past season, both below his career average.
