MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Drug enforcement officers searched the home of Milwaukee Bucks point guard T.J. Ford, but the rookie was not the target of the investigation.

Ford's lawyer, Stephen Glynn, said Wednesday that officers were searching for marijuana, but it is not clear what evidence was collected.

The search was conducted Tuesday by a unit comprised of drug officers from the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department, the Milwaukee Police Department and some suburban agencies.


No arrests were reported.

The Bucks released a statement that said authorities informed them that Ford was not the subject of the investigation.

``From time to time there were certainly people staying with him that included family and friends,'' Glynn said.

But Glynn said he is concerned because personal medical records may have been taken. The medical records relate to Ford's spinal cord bruise, which has sidelined him since Feb. 24. Glynn said they would not want those records made public.

Ford was injured when he took a hard fall in a home game against Minnesota.

Glynn said prosecutors had not asked to meet with Ford about the raid. A search warrant was not yet on file with the Milwaukee County circuit court clerk.

The Milwaukee County Metropolitan Drug Enforcement Unit has not yet forwarded the case to prosecutors, said Assistant District Attorney Julius Kim.
