Former UK forward arrested on marijuana charge

LEXINGTON, Ky. - A former Kentucky basketball player has been arrested and charged with selling marijuana.

Lexington, Ky., police say Rekalin Sims was arrested Friday and charged with trafficking in a controlled substance, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader.

Police say Sims had marijuana shipped from California to a Lexington FedEx Express outlet where it was picked up by another person. That person led police to Sims, 26. It is unclear if Sims has a lawyer.

Sims played for the Wildcats during the 2005-06 season after transferring from Salt Lake Community College. The forward transferred to Fresno State the next season, but was removed from the basketball team for violating its code of conduct following a felony robbery charge that was later dismissed.
