Giants right-hander Tim Lincecum must confront misdemeanor charges of marijuana possession and use of drug paraphernalia, stemming from an incident in Washington State last week.

According to a report in The Columbian of Clark County, Wash., Lincecum was stopped for speeding on Interstate 5 on the morning of Oct. 30. The National League's reigning Cy Young Award winner was driving 74 mph in a 60-mph zone about four miles north of the Oregon border at the wheel of a 2006 Mercedes Benz.

A Washington State Patrol trooper, who used a laser device to catch Lincecum speeding at 8:23 a.m., pulled the Mercedes over. The news report said that the trooper smelled marijuana when Lincecum rolled down the window. Asked to produce the drug, Lincecum withdrew a small pouch and a pipe from the car's dashboard console.

Steve Schatzel, a Washington State Patrol trooper and spokesman, said that the amount of marijuana Lincecum handed over was 3.3 grams. Schatzel described the amount as the size of a human thumb, enough only for personal use. Schatzel added that Lincecum did not seem impaired.
Lincecum, 25, was released after being fined $622 for speeding and for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. He's scheduled to be arraigned on Nov. 23 in Clark County District Court.

A native of Bellevue, Wash., Lincecum attended Liberty High School in Renton, Wash., before proceeding to the University of Washington.
