Ex-NBA star Delonte West arrested on 2 charges in Virginia

Former NBA guard Delonte West was arrested in Virginia on Thursday on misdemeanor charges of violating the conditions of his release and resisting arrest, according to reports.

West, 40, is jailed at the Fairfax County Detention Center on a $2,000 bond. The eight-year NBA veteran was scheduled to be arraigned in court at 8:30 a.m. Eastern on Friday.

West was arrested in Groveton, Virginia, early Thursday morning after police attempted to serve him a warrant. He fled the scene and a pursuit ensued, during which officers lost sight of West before finding him unresponsive. Officers administered West with Narcan, which is used to reverse a narcotic overdose in emergency situations, but it “did not have the desired effect,” officials said, according to WJLA7 News in Arlington. West was provided with Narcan a second time, which worked, and was transported to a local hospital before later being taken to Fairfax County Detention Center.
