Former Duke basketball player Nolan Smith, who is in Durham this week for the annual K Academy fantasy camp, took to Twitter early Thursday morning to describe an incident with Durham police.

The Durham Police Department confirmed that Smith was stopped shortly after 11:30 p.m. Wednesday night for a possible tint violation.

In his accounts of a late-night traffic stop, Smith said that he cooperated with police by rolling his windows down to show officers that he was “harmless” but still had “guns drawn” on him.

The encounter I had with the police tonight...... Guns drawn, yelling, no questions asked... Smh... What's really going on? — Nolan Smith (@NdotSmitty) May 28, 2015

Yes I have 4% Tint... But I rolled the windows down right away... And showed them I was harmless.. They didn't care. Guns were out... Wow — Nolan Smith (@NdotSmitty) May 28, 2015

According to a statement from the Durham Police Department, Smith drove several blocks before pulling over. When officers approached Smith's SUV, department spokeswoman Kammie Michael said, they could not see into the back because the windows were tinted, so one officer unholstered his weapon.

North Carolina law limits the tint of vehicle windows to 35 percent transparency. If in fact Smith's tint is at 4 percent (virtually blacked out), that would constitute an infraction.

According to Michael, officers left Smith off with a warning.

Soon as they relaxed and asked questions.. They became fans... Chill you not getting a autograph now, you just pulled a gun on me. Smh — Nolan Smith (@NdotSmitty) May 28, 2015

Smith played at Duke from 2007 to 2011 and was a key contributor on the 2010 national championship team. His Twitter accounts continued on to read that once the police recognized who he was, “they became fans.”

The world we living in.... Yes I'm upset so I'm letting Yall know what happened. Cuz it's real. — Nolan Smith (@NdotSmitty) May 28, 2015

Durham police did not comment further other than to say they "are still gathering information on the incident."

Smith is one of 37 current and former Blue Devils players taking part in Mike Krzyzewski's annual camp for adults that benefits the Emily K Center.
