A Russian court has extended basketball star Brittney Griner's detention on drug charges until late May, according to state-owned news agency TASS.
The Russian government announced earlier this month that it had detained Griner at a Moscow-area airport for allegedly transporting vape cartridges containing hashish oil in her luggage. It is not clear when the arrest took place, though TASS previously reported it happened in February.
The agency reported on Thursday that the Moscow region's Khimkinsky court has ruled to detain Griner for at least two more months.

It was weed. It's marijuana. Weed. Just weed. Some marijuana for use. Let's not act like she was smuggling keys of heroin. Just weed.
