(NewsCore) - Golden State Warriors guard Charlie Bell was briefly held in police custody after showing up legally drunk to a hearing in his drunk driving case, WJRT-TV reported.
The 32-year-old former Michigan State star was due to appear in court in Flint, Mich., Thursday on a drunk driving charge from October.
The case was going to be resolved, according to the report, until the NBA veteran registered .09 in a blood-alcohol test that had been previously scheduled. The legal limit in Michigan is .08.
Bell was scheduled to return to court Friday after being detained on a bond violation until he sobered up.
Bell, a member of the NCAA champion Michigan State Spartans in 2000, has spent the past decade in the NBA and playing overseas. He played sparingly for the Warriors last season, appearing in 19 games.
