An American basketball player in the Indonesian league was arrested for allegedly attempting to smuggle illegal drugs into the country, police said.

The Southeast Asian country has extremely strict drug laws, and convicted smugglers are sometimes executed by firing squad.

Jarred Dwayne Shaw, a 34-year-old former Santa Cruz Warrior from Dallas, was arrested May 7, after police raided his apartment in Tangerang regency, just outside the capital, Jakarta, and seized 132 pieces of cannabis candies, said Ronald Sipayung, the Soekarno-Hatta Airport police chief.

The arrest followed a tip from the airport’s customs that reported Shaw had received a suspicious airway package from Thailand, Sipayung said. Cannabis has been decriminalized in Thailand since November 2024. Under Indonesia’s anti-drug laws, Shaw faces up to a life sentence or the death penalty if found guilty, Sipayung said.

A video circulating on social media purportedly showed Shaw, wearing a black T-shirt and shorts, resisting as he was being pushed away by police and shouting “Help ... help!” when he was about to be arrested.

Shaw has played for several clubs in the Indonesian Basketball League since 2022, and signed a contract with Tangerang Hawks last year. He told police during interrogation that he wanted to share the cannabis candy with fellow basketball players, according to Sipayung.

He said the candy contained a total gross weight of 869 grams (30.6 ounces) of illegal cannabinoid inside a package.

Shaw did not make any statement when he was presented by the authorities at a news conference Wednesday wearing an orange detainee T-shirt and a mask with his hands tied.

Tangerang Hawks’ manager, Tikky Suwantikno, told reporters on Thursday that they regretted what had been done by Shaw and the club had immediately fired him as he had breached the contract.

The Indonesian Basketball League banned Shaw from playing for life, said its chair, Budisatrio Djiwandono.

Shaw, a center, appeared in 17 games for the Santa Cruz Warriors in 2015-16. He averaged 8.9 points and 4.5 rebounds in his lone season as a G-League player after playing collegiately at Oklahoma State and Utah State.

COLLEGE SOFTBALL

Stanford got two home runs and seven RBIs from freshman first baseman Joie Economides in the deciding game of the Eugene Regional against 16th-seeded Oregon.

But it wasn’t enough to put the Cardinal in the NCAA Super Regionals.

The Ducks chipped away at a four-run Stanford lead and tied the game in the bottom of the sixth. Then, with runners on the corners and one out, senior Dezianna Patmon hit the first pitch she saw from freshman left-hander Zoe Prystajko deep over the left-center field wall to give Oregon a 10-7 walkoff win.

Patmon finished the game 2-for-3 with three RBI and three runs as Oregon (50-8) advanced to face Liberty, which shocked No. 1 seed Texas A&M 6-5 in the deciding game of the Bryan-College Station Regional on Sunday. Their best-of-three Super Regional begins in Eugene this week.

Stanford (42-12) hammered Oregon 14-1 on Saturday, and needed to win just one of its two games Sunday against its former Pac-12 foe to advance to the Super Regionals for the fourth straight year. But the Cardinal were blown out 15-5 by the Ducks in the first game, which lasted just six innings.

In the second game, Economides hit a grand slam in the first inning and a three-run homer in the third as the Cardinal took a 7-3 lead before Oregon clawed back.

Women’s COLLEGE GOLF

Stanford overwhelmed the field at the NCAA Women’s Golf Championship at La Costa in Carlsbad and will be the No. 1 seed in match play for the team title for the fifth consecutive year. Stanford has won two of the last three years.

Meanwhile, Arkansas sophomore Maria Jose Marin kept her poise down the stretch and closed with a birdie for a 3-under 69 for a two-shot individual victory over Florida State’s Mirabel Ting. Stanford’s Kelly Xu finished third.

Jose Marin finished at 12-under 276 and earns a spot in the U.S. Women’s Open next week at Erin Hills in Wisconsin.

Arkansas joins Stanford among eight teams advancing to the match play for the NCAA team title over the next two days. Other teams advancing were Oregon, Northwestern, Florida State, USC, Texas and Virginia.

HOCKEY

Finland prevailed against Canada 2-1 in a penalty shootout to hand the title favorite its first loss at the ice hockey world championship in Stockholm.

Canada is second in Group A, trailing leader Sweden by two points. Both have qualified for the quarterfinals and they meet today in their last group game.

In Herning, Denmark, the Czech Republic shut out Germany 5-0 to jump to the top of Group B, one point ahead of Switzerland and three more than the U.S. in third.

The Czechs complete the group stage against the Americans today.

GOLF

Angel Cabrera rolled in a 6-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th hole to complete an 8-under 64, and it proved to be a winner in the rain-delayed Regions Tradition in Birmingham, Ala. that gave him his first senior major.

Cabrera had to wait to see if 54-hole leader Jerry Kelly could force a playoff. Kelly fell two behind with a bogey on the 17th, and could only manage a birdie at the last for a 68.
