Kendrick Perkins Arrested For Public Intoxication Near Stephen Jackson’s Home, According To Report

Here’s the statement from Perkins’ publicist.

White also said that Perkins was taken to the hospital on Thursday night after fainting during a Dominos game.

Perkins was reportedly booked at the Jefferson County jail on charges of public intoxication and disorderly conduct, according to CBS affiliate KFDM. The news station earlier reported that Jackson was arrested as well, though the newest reports indicate that the incident simply happened at his home and he was spared from another brush with the law.

Perkins was in town helping out at a basketball camp with Jackson, something that would happen every summer, so this isn’t exactly an issue that could have been prevented had their not been an NBA lockout. Still, it’s sad to see.
