LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Former NBA player Isaiah Rider has been arrested on skid row in Los Angeles for allegedly driving a stolen car.

Police say the 37-year-old ex-Laker was seen failing to stop at a limit line around 2:30 a.m. Saturday. When officers pulled over the car, they found it had been reported stolen from South Los Angeles.

Rider was booked for investigation of driving a car without the owner's consent. He's jailed on $25,000 bail.

Rider played at UNLV before starting his pro career in 1993. He played with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Portland Trail Blazers, Atlanta Hawks, Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets before ending his career in 2001.

But Rider had a string of arrests both during and after his career for drug use, assault and other crimes. Last year, he pleaded guilty in Marin County to several charges, including felony cocaine possession, battery and evading a police officer.


Bummer dude...

And I was pleased when the Lakers signed him that year. What a mental case man, to blow your life away like this when you could've had everything.

This is a good reminder since I just pre-ordered GTA 4. I wonder if that was him I saw in the latest trailer.
