Griner appears to have been going through security when the video released by the agency shows this.

WNBA champion, two-time Olympic silver medalist Brittney Griner was arrested in Russia. She could spend up to 10 years behind bars after customs officers found “vapes containing hashish oils” in her luggage back February.

Russian Federal Customs Service issued a statement Saturday, confirming that an American “two time Olympic basketball champion” was taken into custody after a narcotics’ dog at Sheremetyevo International Airport near Moscow alerted him to his luggage.
