Delonte West has found himself in familiar territory—trouble with the law. The former NBA star was arrested last month in Virginia after allegedly robbing someone of a mere $23. You might think he could find more creative ways to stay in the headlines, but evidently, this was the route he chose.
A call was made to the police, reporting that an individual had been robbed and assaulted near Richmond Highway. Quick on their toes, officers showed up and promptly apprehended West, who didn’t get far and was pointed out by the victim. Much like an unwelcome blast from the past, the authorities were all too familiar with West, who seems to have a series of encounters with the law, making this just one chapter in a lengthy saga.
After his arrest, he posted a bond and is expected back in court in March. One has to wonder if this incident will be the final straw or just another bump on West’s road to recovery. Sometimes, it takes a little more than a quick getaway to turn your life around, wouldn’t you say?
