Latrell Sprewell arrested by Police on New Year's Eve


Police arrested former NBA All-Star and Wisconsin Latrell Sprewell after responding to multiple noise complaints regarding loud music at a residence in east Milwaukee. The police records said officers received two complaints in the span of an hour and Sprewell was booked at 4.15 p.m.


Latrell Sprewell, who played 13 seasons with the Golden State Warriorsm New York and Minnesota Timberwolves, is well-known for his run-ins with influence figures.

Sprewell spent three months under house arrest the next year after being charged with reckless driving.




Sprewell, 42, was a first-round pick in 1992 and went on to play for the Warriors, Knicks and Timberwolves. He was named first-team All-NBA in 1993-94 and holds career averages of 18.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 assists per game.



Although he earned more than $97 million in NBA salary, Sprewell was listed by the State of Wisconsin as the state’s No. 1 delinquent taxpayer in 2011 and he has reportedly had property repossessed and a house put into foreclosure in recent years.




Sprewell is perhaps best known for choking then-Warriors coach P.J. Carlesimo in a 1997 incident that earned him a season-long suspension. Carlesimo was named interim coach of the Nets when Avery Johnson was fired last week.
