MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Drug enforcement officers searched the home of Milwaukee Bucks point guard T.J. Ford, but the rookie was not the target of the investigation.

Ford's lawyer, Stephen Glynn, said Wednesday that officers were searching for marijuana, but it is not clear what evidence was collected.

The search was conducted Tuesday by a unit comprised of drug officers from the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department, the Milwaukee Police Department and some suburban agencies.

No arrests were reported.

The Bucks released a statement that said authorities informed them that Ford was not the subject of the investigation.

``From time to time there were certainly people staying with him that included family and friends,'' Glynn said.

But Glynn said he is concerned because personal medical records may have been taken. The medical records relate to Ford's spinal cord bruise, which has sidelined him since Feb. 24. Glynn said they would not want those records made public.

Ford was injured when he took a hard fall in a home game against Minnesota.

Glynn said prosecutors had not asked to meet with Ford about the raid. A search warrant was not yet on file with the Milwaukee County circuit court clerk.

The Milwaukee County Metropolitan Drug Enforcement Unit has not yet forwarded the case to prosecutors, said Assistant District Attorney Julius Kim.

What they aren't telling you is that Damon Stoudamire spent the night at his house and the police were trying to boost their drug seizure stats for the month (where Damon is, there will always be marijuana).  Unfortunately, for the officers, all the aluminum foil was still in the box.

It's Milwaukee.  They probably saw TJ eating a bratwurst and mistook it for a steamroller.  Either that or they overheard him talking about all the dimes he dishes out.  ;)

LOL....I think some of the older guys around here wouldnt know what a steamroller is. ;)

Yes they would bust into his house to look for stuff from family.......when a player or family member who is living there is under the cops eye they will crack down hard because they might assume TJ is using his NBA money to back the dealers.
