Overview
- Fairfax County police and EMS responded on Nov. 3 to Fair Haven Avenue and Richmond Highway after a report of a male found unconscious and not breathing, and they found Delonte West breathing when they arrived.
- Officers offered to take West to a hospital, but police say he refused medical transport at the scene.
- Police describe West as so intoxicated that he was taken into custody for his own safety rather than for a specific offense.
- He has since bonded out of custody, and authorities have not confirmed whether any charges will follow.
- The episode adds to West’s recent history of police contacts in the same jurisdiction, including a trespassing booking on Nov. 1, 2024, and other arrests reported last year; he played eight NBA seasons with the Mavericks, Celtics, SuperSonics and Cavaliers.
