Former Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard, Nick Young, was arrested recently in Hollywood.
Los Angeles police placed former Los Angeles Lakers guard, Nick Young, under arrest in Hollywood in a late-night traffic stop for a traffic violation.
According to The Associated Press through the department spokesman, Officer Mike Lopez, Nick Young was arrested for delaying an investigation which is a misdemeanor. Lopez went on to say that Young allegedly did not obey the officers, became upset and caused a delay.
Young was released on $10,000 bail.
Since Young was released, a video of the arrest shot by some bystanders has been put out by TMZ Sports. In the video, Nick Young is clearly being heard asking, “Am I resisting?”

Young spent last season with the World Champion Golden State Warriors. As of this writing, he is an unsigned free agent.
