BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Authorities in suburban
Detroit say Detroit Pistons center Ben Wallace has been charged
with drunken driving and unlawfully carrying a concealed weapon
after a traffic stop.
Bloomfield Township police said Thursday that the 37-year-old
Wallace was arrested about 3 a.m. Saturday after officers observed
a Cadillac Escalade being driven erratically. Police said they
found an unloaded pistol in a backpack.
Officers say Wallace was given a blood-alcohol test and he was
above Michigan's legal limit of 0.08 percent.
Police declined to provide further details.
Wallace, who helped the Pistons win the 2004 NBA title, was
arraigned and released on a $5,000 personal bond. His next court
hearing is Monday.
An email was sent by The Associated Press seeking comment from a
Wallace representative.
