Lebron was driving to work one morning when Officer Ali pulled him over for an alleged traffic violation. Lebron provided the officer with a valid license and insurance, but was ordered out of his vehicle and searched without justification. Officer Ali called for backup, and the responding officers searched Lebron's car. During the search, officers found a commercially sealed package of vitamins with the "GNC" brand on the label, a well-known brand of vitamins and health products. They arrested Lebron and charged him with possession of a controlled substance. While Lebron was in custody, his wife came to the police station with the original box for the commercially produced vitamin packets. Officer Ali told her he "didn't care" and continued to file criminal charges against Lebron. The charges were later dismissed.
