Former NBA player Marcus Morris was arrested on Sunday on a fraud charge, according to online arrest records in Florida.

He was arrested at an airport and was hit with a fraud – writing a check with insufficient funds – charge. The Broward County arrest record showed that the case was related to an issue in another state, and he was being held in jail without bond.

Markieff Morris, Marcus’ twin brother who also played in the NBA, wrote about the situation in a post on social media.

“The wording is crazy. Damn for that amount of money they’ll embarrass you in the airport with your family,” Markieff Morris wrote on X later Sunday. “They got y’all really thinking bro did some fraud s—. They could have came to the crib for all that.

“When y’all hear the real story on this s— man. All I can say is Lesson learned. Bro will tell y’all tomorrow. This weird s— gave me a headache. Can’t stop nothin!”

It’s not Marcus Morris’ first time in trouble with the law.
