Andrés Nocioni arrested for DUI in Sacramento

Andrés Nocioni, the forward from Argentina, was arrested early Thursday on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.

The Sacramento Kings player that was acquired late last season, was pulled over in downtown Sacramento around 2am as the arresting police officer noticed his car was weaving.

“I want to apologize to the Kings organization, my teammates, my coaches, the fans, the city of Sacramento and my family,” Nocioni said in a statement. “Drinking and driving is something that shouldn’t be taken lightly. I made a mistake and I’m very sorry for my lapse in judgment.”

Nocioni is averaging 9.8 points and 3.8 rebounds off the bench. No word on whether Nocioni will be suspended, but it’s likely that the 29-year old will miss games due to this run-in with the law. More about Nocioni’s DUI from the AP
