Qyntel Woods’ Driver’s License Was a Trading Card!?

The early 2000s Jail Blazers era in Portland was rife with a record-setting amount of technical fouls on the court, countless arrests off the court, and a lack of valid ID?

2002, 21st overall pick Qyntel Woods embodied this as much as any other player on that roster.

Before being charged with first-degree animal abuse for hosting illegal dog fights in his backyard a la Michael Vick, Woods’ other vice – his love for driving fast and furious kicked off his legal trouble and got him cited.

While being stopped for speeding in February 2003, the narc making the stop asked Woods for his license and registration, as is routine.

The only problem was…Qyntel didn’t have either and instead presented a 2002-03 Topps basketball card of himself and a pair of credit cards as his only form of identification.

To make matters worse, Woods must have been toking on a blunt before the stop because as soon as he rolled down his window, the sweet smell of Mary Jane permeated the air.

Understandably, Woods pleaded guilty to charges of driving while uninsured, operating a motor vehicle without a driver’s license, and no contest to being high as a motherfucker🥴

In the end, he got off lite with only a $1,096 fine and a warning, which of course he didn’t end up heeding, as it wouldn’t be long until he was back in court.
