Jevon Porter was arrested on suspicion of DWI. Porter, the younger brother of Denver Nuggets star, Michael Porter Jr., was subsequently released as he was not booked into the Boone County jail, in the region where the incident occurred. Porter's arrest initially made headlines on PowerMizzou.
Kyle Green the State Sgt. of Missouri noted that speeding was the cause for Porter's stop leading to his DWI arrest.
Porter, an impressive 6-foot-11 forward who has just made a transfer from Pepperdine to Loyola Marymount, accumulated an average of 16.2 points and 5.9 rebounds per match last season.
Porter's arrest follows his older brother, Jontay Porter banning from the NBA only two weeks prior. The elder Porter, a two-way player for the Toronto Raptors, was found guilty of betting on games, manipulating bet outcomes, and leaking confidential information to bettors by an NBA investigation.
Adam Silver, the NBA commissioner, declared the elder Porter's "flagrant gaming rule breaches" would receive "the utmost punishment".
Shortly after, another sibling, Coban Porter, a previous Denver player, received a six-year jail term for causing a drunk-driving crash in the previous year in Colorado, in which a woman died. 
Police records show that Coban Porter's blood alcohol level was 0.19, more than twice the permitted limit when he ran a red light and crashed into Kathy Limon Rothman's vehicle, killing her and grievously injuring her fellow passenger.
For injuring Rothman's passenger, he was also sentenced to two years, though the sentences will run concurrently.
