Basketball Star Vanishes Amid Legal Storm | Albuquerque News

Deshawndre Washington, facing 15 felony charges for alleged hazing and sexual assaults, skipped his August 3 trial in Las Cruces by playing in a Beirut championship — and he’s still overseas. His agent claims he’s stuck without his passport, seized by Interpol due to an active warrant, and insists it wasn’t intentional. Legal experts say this likely means extradition is already moving forward — a major complication for a case involving serious felony charges across international borders. Carter’s solution? Lift the warrant, and Washington could be back in the U.S. in as little as 48 hours — saving time and money. The world waits to see if diplomacy can resolve this legal mess before it spirals further.
