Zach Randolph arrested on charge of marijuana possession with intent to sell

Sacramento Kings big man Zach Randolph was arrested on a felony charge of marijuana possession with intent to sell by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department on Wednesday night, according to police reports.


The arrest was part of a disturbance that resulted in damage to five Los Angeles Police Department vehicles and one sheriff's vehicle, according to ABC-7 in Los Angeles.


LAPD officials told ABC-7 that officers were on routine patrol when they encountered a group blocking the street, drinking alcohol, smoking marijuana and playing loud music. The officers then tried to disperse the crowd, and the disturbance escalated.

According to the police report, Randolph was arrested at 11 p.m. PT and booked at 4:23 a.m. Thursday. Bail was set at $20,000.
Another man, an ex-con, was arrested for possession of a gun, according to the police report.


Randolph, 36, averaged 14.1 points and 8.2 points for the Memphis Grizzlies last season. The 6-foot-9 free agent signed a two-year, $24 million deal with the Kings in July.


He established himself as a local legend over the past eight seasons in Memphis, a city that embraced him for his rugged playing style and for overcoming a rough upbringing. The Grizzlies announced plans to retire Randolph's No. 50 in early July, after he signed with the Kings.
He played a critical role in the Grizzlies' seven straight playoff appearances and ranks first in franchise history in rebounds (5,612) and third behind Mike Conley and Marc Gasol in scoring (9,261 points).


Randolph, a two-time All-Star and a 16-year NBA veteran, accepted a transition to a sixth-man role last season and excelled. His 20 double-doubles were the most by any bench player in the league.


While playing for the LA Clippers in 2009, Randolph was arrested for investigation of drunken driving in the Culver City area near west Los Angeles. The Clippers suspended him two games for the incident.

Thought weed was legal there, so it truly is the amount he had on him which immediately makes it look like he is selling...This will be nothing when it is all said and done, other than he was smoking weed

"[FONT=&quot]We're told the "intent to sell" part was due to the large amount of weed found."

INDIANAPOLIS -- The brother of Sacramento Kings forward Zach Randolph was shot and killed early Saturday outside of a bar in the Indiana city where the two grew up, authorities said.
Police said that an officer heard gunfire at around 5 a.m. and found Roger Randolph bleeding between two cars outside of Hop's Blues Room in Marion, which is about 60 miles northeast of Indianapolis. They said investigators don't know the circumstances surrounding the shooting, but they don't think it was a random attack.
Roger Randolph, who was 35, had several brushes with the law, including for a 2004 shooting at a nightclub that wounded three people and landed him in prison.
Roger Randolph was sentenced to three years in prison in 2005 for his role in the nightclub shooting in Anderson, which is about 30 miles south of Marion and is where court records say he had been living when he was killed. The shooting apparently stemmed from an argument on the dance floor.
Zach Randolph was at the club that night and was questioned, but he wasn't charged.
Roger Randolph was charged last year with OWI, the Indiana equivalent of driving under the influence. There was a hearing last week in that case, which was unresolved.
Zach Randolph led Marion High School to a state championship in 2000 before heading to Michigan State and then the NBA. In addition to the Kings, he has played for the Portland Trail Blazers, New York Knicks, LA Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies. He is a two-time NBA All Star.
The Grizzlies, for whom Randolph played eight seasons, tweeted their condolences Saturday.
