Three American basketball players who had been fired from their South Korean teams for smoking marijuana were sentenced to suspended jail terms by a local court Monday.
The Suwon District Court sentenced Terrence Shannon and DeAngelo Collins of the Seoul SK Knights and Calvin Warner of the Anyang KT&G Kites to six months in prison with a one-year suspension for smoking the illegal drug at downtown Seoul hotel in January, according to Yonhap News Agency.
Collins, who left the team and South Korea with a knee injury, admitted to the charges, while other two pleaded not guilty. Shannon and Warner were expelled from their clubs in February.
Under South Korean law, marijuana users can be sentenced to a maximum of five years in jail or fined up to 50 million won ($33,300).
