A few hours after his Friday release from Osaka Prefectural Police custody, Osaka Evessa power forward Lynn Washington admitted this 18-day ordeal was "a very humbling experience."
Washington had been arrested on March 13 on suspicion of smuggling about 1 kg of marijuana into Japan, in connection with his wife, Dana, who was detained by Osaka police in February. The package was allegedly addressed to Dana Washington and sent to Japan in November.
Police said Friday they will not prosecute the basketball star, who turns 34 on April 3. All charges have been dropped.
