Matt Barnes Arrested In Los Angeles
 Free-agent forward Matt Barnes, who played the last two seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, was arrested late Monday night on an outstanding misdemeanor traffic warrant and for allegedly threatening a police officer.
Barnes, a nine-year NBA veteran, was apprehended “as he was walking on a busy thoroughfare in the city about 20 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles,” according to the Associated Press.
Manhattan Beach police Lt. Steve Tobias said Barnes was uncooperative when he was stopped by police — and that Barnes was going to be booked for allegedly threatening the officer, which is a felony.
Authorities said the warrant was for driving on a suspended license.
According to City News Service, Barnes was arrested by an officer who
was aware that the 32-year-old forward had an outstanding warrant for a
misdemeanor traffic offense. According to NBC Los Angeles, Barnes had
not paid a $26,000 warrant.
He paid that, plus the remaining $25,000 in bail, and was released from
the Manhattan Beach Police Department’s jail just before midnight
Pacific time.
In September 2010, two months after the Lakers signed him to a two-year,
$3.67 million deal, Barnes was arrested on suspicion of felony domestic
violence. Then-fiancee Gloria Govan disputed the booking at the time,
and Barnes ultimately was not charged in connection with that incident.
