reno Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 The mother of Miami Heat basketball star Lebron James was arrested by Miami Beach police after she reportedly assaulted a valet worker because it was taking too long to have her car delivered. Police said Gloria James had a strong odor of alcohol on her breath and her eyes were bloodshot when officers arrived at the hotel about 4:47 a.m. Thursday. Police said several witnesses supported valet worker Sorel Rockfeller's account of the alleged assault. Gloria James was taken to the Miami Beach Police Department, where she was issued a Promise to Appear on charges of simple battery and disorderly conduct. A police report says she was released to Miami Heat executive Steve Stowe. According to the web site TMZ.com, Miami police released a statement saying, "Both Ms. James and the driver of the vehicle were initially uncooperative with the investigating officer. Ms. James was apparently intoxicated as she had bloodshot eyes and a strong odor of alcohol on her breath. "Ms. James was arrested and taken to the Miami Beach Police Department where she was processed, issued a Promise to Appear and subsequently released." http://communitypress.cincinnati.com/article/AB/20110407/SPT/304070060/0/SPT0103/LeBron-s-mom-arrested-altercation?odyssey=nav|head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
