A man was arrested Tuesday on drug charges and another man was charged with possession of marijuana following an ongoing investigation.
Bruce Carter, nonstudent from Murray, and Marvin Williams, sophomore from Lake Wales, Fla., both former Racer basketball players, were charged after Carter allegedly sold about 100 ecstasy pills to undercover agents from the Pennyrile Narcotics Task Force before attempting to flee on foot.
The Murray Police Department, Calloway County Sheriff's office and Public Safety assisted with the pursuit.
Carter, 23, was charged with two counts of first degree trafficking of a controlled substance and fleeing police. His arrest led police to a Coldwater Road residence where police charged Williams, 21, with possession of marijuana. The narcotics are estimated to be worth more then $5,000.
Carter played as a guard and Williams played as a forward for the Racers during the 2007-2008 basketball season. Murray State athletics declined to comment, saying the two men are no longer part of the department.
