AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- LeBron James' mother was arrested for driving while
intoxicated, disorderly conduct and other charges.
Gloria James was pulled over Friday night by two off-duty officers, who were
working security for the Akron Metropolitan Housing Authority, said Akron
Police Lt. Rick Edwards.
"I don't have all the info of what's going on," LeBron James said Saturday
night before the Cleveland Cavaliers played the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City.
"Once I find that out and once I sit down with my family, you know, I'll be
able to comment on it a little bit better."
The officers said Gloria James almost hit their unmarked car with her 2004
Cadillac Escalade, Edwards said.
The officers said the 37-year-old James smelled of alcohol and she appeared
to be disoriented, Edwards said.
She struggled with police as they attempted to put handcuffs on her. They
put her in the back seat of the housing authority car where she yelled
obscenities at the officers, Edwards said.
"She kept leaning forward, screaming, hollering and carrying on," he said.
James was taken to a police station, where she refused to take breath or
sobriety tests. She posted a $2,500 bond and was released after being
charged with reckless operation, speeding for driving 50 mph in a 30-mph
zone, operating a vehicle while intoxicated, disorderly conduct and damaging
police equipment, Edwards said.
She is scheduled to appear in Akron Municipal Court on Monday.

You know, I am so impressed with LeBron James. Not just his basketball
skills, but his maturity and poise in dealing with the media, pressure,
hype, etc. He seems to always say the right things. Contrast this with
Carmelo, who has been saying all the wrong things ever since he came
into the league. And he has done this despite some awful influences in
his life: his mom, and his mom's boyfriend (the one who was in jail).
