Former NBA player Delonte West was arrested again this Thursday, according to an official representing the Fairfax County Detention Center.
The 40-year-old was booked on a pair of misdemeanor charges, having violated the conditions of his release and resisted arrest. Reports note that he’s being held on a $2,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court this Friday.
West, who was believed to be homeless at one point, was arrested twice in 2022 and has attempted to turn things around on several occasions following multiple brushes with the lwa. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban once drove miles to pick him up and check him into a rehabilitation center.
