Former NBA and Fab Five standout Jalen Rose was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of drunken driving.
West Bloomfield Township Police Lt. Tim Diamond said Tuesday that Rose, now an ESPN analyst, was arrested around 2 a.m. March 11. He’s accused of operating a vehicle while impaired. He has an April 20th court date.
Rose declined to take a Breathalyzer and was taken to a hospital for a blood-alcohol test. Those results are unavailable.
Police said road conditions were icy and may have been a factor in Rose’s car going off the road early March 11. Rose had no comment Tuesday night. An ESPN spokesman said he network was “looking into it.”
Keith Davidson, a Los Angeles-based attorney representing Rose, says the former player and his legal team “look forward to working with Michigan authorities and addressing any and all outstanding issues in court and not in the press.”
The 38-year-old Rose played 13 years in the NBA, reaching the finals with Indiana in 2000. He was also part of Michigan’s famous Fab Five, which reached the NCAA title game in 1992 and 1993.
Rose was part of a recent ESPN documentary on the Fab Five.
