Timberwolves Forward Al Jefferson Arrested On DWI Charge

Troubling news out of Minneapolis today, as early this morning, Minnesota Timberwolves big man Al Jefferson was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. Here's what the Minneapolis Star-Tribune had to say:

Jefferson, 25, was booked into Hennepin County Jail on suspicion of fourth-degree driving while impaired about 2:15 a.m. and released an hour later, according to Hennepin County jail records. A court appearance has been scheduled for 8:30 a.m. April 23.

The Star-Tribune’s account of the incident is scarce; we don’t have a mugshot or a breathalyzer reading or any other sordid details, for example. For Jefferson’s sake, we hope those details are sufficiently mundane that this incident doesn’t become a hindrance on what should be a very productive career.

The Timberwolves have yet to comment.
