Former NBA star Delonte West has been arrested after being found unconscious on the streets of LA, according to reports.
According to TMZ, the former basketball had his latest run-in with the law after the Fairfax County Police Department received a service call about an unconscious male.
The outlet claim that officers, who arrived at a section of Fair Haven Avenue and Richmond Highway, found West intoxicated on the floor.
Police reportedly offered to take West to hospital but he refused and was subsequently arrested by officers for his own safety.
He has since been bonded out and it remains unclear as to whether he will be facing any charges over the incident, according to the report.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Fairfax County Police Department for details.

The recent ordeal serves as the latest run-in with the law for West - who formerly played on the Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers and Dallas Mavericks in the NBA.
Almost a year ago to the day, West allegedly refused to leave an area in Huntington, Virginia that he was banned from, Fairfax County Police Department said at the time.
The incident was reported on November 1, 2024 with police corroborating the report through surveillance footage before issuing an arrest warrant.
Police found West walking near the Huntington Metro at around 9pm the following day and he was arrested and held on a $1,000 bond.
The 42-year-old was released from custody on November 3 after being charged with a misdemeanor.
A former St. Joseph's star who became a productive NBA guard for the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers, West has battled through mounting legal problems since the end of his career. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2008, but has also disputed that assessment.
West earned over $16 million during his nine-year career, which ended after his only season with the Dallas Mavericks in 2011-2012, when he was just 28.
His post-playing life has featured one unfortunate episode after another with this recent arrest just the latest chapter in his storied history with the law.
In June last year, West suffered a medical emergency and ultimately needed to be revived following another arrest in Virginia on charges of violating conditions of release and resisting police.

However, his post-playing career has been blighted by run-ins with the law in recent years
West (pictured) was previously arrested in 2021 over an incident with Florida police
Police officers were attempting to serve a warrant to West in Groveton, Virginia when he fled. A foot pursuit ensued and when police finally did catch up to West, he was found 'unresponsive.'
'Narcan was administered by officers, but [it] did not have the desired effect,' Police told DailyMail.com, referring to the emergency medication for drug overdoses.
'He was transported to a local hospital and Narcan was administered again, which yielded the desired effect. West was released from the hospital and transported to the [adult detention center].'
A beleaguered West was later seen in a disturbing mugshot with unkempt hair and sagging eyelids.
Three years ago West was seen loitering outside of a 7-Eleven convenience store in Virginia where he appeared to be asking people for money.
A year earlier, West was arrested in Florida for resisting an officer without violence and disorderly intoxication.
The Washington DC native was allegedly witnessed banging on the windows of a local police precinct. According to the police report obtained by WPTV.com, West was screaming profanities while holding open containers of beer and vodka.
