Bail for former Troy basketball star Emanuel "Tiki" Mayben is now set at $30,000 on charges he had cocaine and tried to sell drugs.
Police say on June 29th, Mayben tried selling drugs to two people. After an investigation, they arrested him Wednesday night, and police say he had three grams of cocaine on him.
Mayben's lawyer Greg Cholakis says his client has no criminal history and was in Troy visiting family, who were giving him a car as a gift for being a good son and student.
Cholakis says, "In a lot of ways this is not your stereotypical case of this nature, of a drug nature. This is an intact family that is very tight. Exactly what you wouldn't expect to see here."
About a dozen family and friends showed their support in court Thursday, but no one wanted to speak with the media about the case.
Mayben was headed into his senior season at SUNY Binghamton. He led the Bearcats to their first America East league title last year.
