Former NBA guard Delonte West has been in Virginia early on misdemeanor charges of violating the conditions of his release and resisting arrest.
He is currently being held at the Fairfax County Detention Center on a $2,000 bond and is scheduled to be arraigned this morning.
Officers were looking for him to serve him with a warrant. Once they spotted him, West reportedly gave chase. When they found him, he was unresponsive and Narcan was initially administered to him but that didn’t work.
