FAIRFAX COUNTY, VIRGINIA – Fairfax County police arrested former NBA star Delonte West in Alexandria over the weekend.
Officers discovered West, 39, in the 7400 block of Fordson Road on Saturday evening. Where he was allegedly drunk and trespassing in a vehicle.
West fled as they attempted to handcuff the embattled Washington, D.C. native.

West is charged with four offenses: vehicle trespassing, fleeing law enforcement and being drunk in public.
Before attending St. Joseph’s University, the former point guard attended Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt, Maryland. During his NBA career, he played for the Boston Celtics, the Seattle SuperSonics, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Dallas Mavericks, as well as overseas.
