DENVER - Prosecutors filed a drug charge Wednesday against a friend of NBA star Carmelo Anthony who said he accidentally left marijuana in the player's backpack before it was found during an airport luggage search.

James Cunningham of St. Louis faces a charge of possessing less than one ounce of marijuana. If convicted, he could be fined $100 but would face no jail time.

Prosecutors originally filed the same charge against Anthony after the marijuana was found in his pack on Oct. 15 while he and his Denver Nuggets teammates were waiting to board a flight to Milwaukee for an exhibition game.

The charge was dropped two weeks ago after Cunningham signed an affidavit saying he borrowed the backpack without Anthony's knowledge and left the marijuana in it.
