     *The Virginian-Pilot newspaper is reporting that the stepfather of NBA star Allen Iverson has been indicted on federal drug charges stemming from an arrest in April.

      Newport News police had taken 51-year-old Michael Andre Freeman into custody after finding crack cocaine in his car during a traffic stop, according to court records. But those charges were dropped this week in favor of the federal prosecution.

      The federal indictment charged Freeman with possession of crack cocaine with the intent to distribute. He is in jail pending a bond hearing scheduled for next week.

      Iverson has referred to Freeman as his mentor while growing up in Newport News and Hampton. The Denver Nuggets guard calls Freeman his “dad” and credits him with fueling his drive to become an elite NBA player.
