(AP) — Prosecutors need more time before deciding whether to bring charges against NBA star Kobe Bryant, who is accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a re­ sort near Vail, Colo., last week. “Sometimes it takes awhile to get Canada♦ through everything,” Eagle County District Attorney Mark Hurlbert said Monday. “It may be beyond the end of the week.” He said Bryant might not be charged at all, but he refused to discuss details of the allegations against the five-time NBA all-star. Bryant’s lawyer, Pamela Mackey, said the Los Angeles Lakers’ guard “ex­ pects to be completely exonerated,” and she accused the sheriffs office qf rushing the case against the advice of prosecutors. According to an arrest warrant, Bryant, 24, attacked a woman June 30. Authorities said only that it happened at a hotel. Officials at the Lodge& Spa at Cordillera in nearby Edwards said Bryant stayed there June 30 to July 2. Under Colorado law, sexual assault could range from fondling to rape. Drugs found on Stoudam ire PHOENIX (AP) — Damon Stoudamire was arrested on marijuana charges after allegedly trying to pass through an airport metal detector with about 40 grams of the drug wrapped in aluminum foil.

The team immediately suspended Stoudamire and fined him $250,000 US. He was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, both misdemeanours. Police said he was carrying almost 40 grams of marijuana. After Stoudamire set off the metal detector, he placed the drug and rolling papers into a plastic security bin, police said. Security officials then summoned police. Stoudamire told officers the drug was m arijuana and th at it was his. Stoudamire was KCHASE FINANCING released on his own recognizance and is to appear in court July 25.
