Dillon Brooks was pulled over just after 1 a.m. near Thunderbird and Scottsdale roads. The officer in the bodycam video said Brooks didn’t stay in his lane six different times while on Scottsdale Road from Mountain View Road.
“I was following the person in front of me,” Brooks said. He added that he saw the officer following him around Scottsdale and Camelback roads, but the officer said he was following multiple people.
The officer then asked if Brooks had smoked marijuana.
“It’s been awhile,” Brooks replied. He denied having marijuana in the car.
“It smells quite heavily of the presence of marijuana. That’s why I’m asking,” the officer said.
Brooks denied smoking marijuana and said the last time he drank was six months ago.
After checking his information, Brooks was asked to get out of the car so the officer could make sure he was OK to drive.

“To be honest with you, it smells like a dispensary in your car,” the officer said.
The officer conducted several field sobriety tests on Brooks, including a breathalyzer.
“So why are you lying about the amount of marijuana you’ve consumed in the last six months?” the officer asked. “You’ve definitely consumed marijuana tonight.”
Brooks denied again using marijuana. The officer then put Brooks in handcuffs. The officer was careful not to hurt Brooks’s hand, which he had just had surgery on.
The 30-year-old was taken to jail, where he was booked and later released. Police confirmed Brooks faces two DUI-related charges in this incident.
The forward has been out of the Suns’ lineup since he fractured his hand in a Feb. 21 game against the Orlando Magic. Reports indicated that the team expected him to return in four to six weeks.
The Suns organization gave Arizona’s Family the following statement about Brooks:
“We are aware of the situation involving Dillon Brooks and are gathering more information. We have no further comment at this time.”
Before the injury, Brooks was having the best season of his NBA career, averaging a career-high 20.9 points per game. He came to the Suns as part of the trade that sent 15-time All-Star Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets during the offseason.
Phoenix was one of the NBA’s early-season surprise teams, but injuries have started to pile up since the All-Star break. Without Brooks and big man Mark Williams, the Suns struggled to gather any momentum in a 105-103 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Thursday.
This is Brooks’ first season with the Suns after previously playing for the Rockets and Memphis Grizzlies.
