Former NBA champion Paul Pierce was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol on Tuesday.

“Officers noted signs of alcohol impairment and conducted a DUI investigation,” noted an official update by the California Highway Patrol, “Pierce was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, a violation of California Vehicle Code 23152(a), and taken to the CHP Central Los Angeles Area office.”

“Imagine being stuck in stand still traffic for 45 minutes and falling asleep,” later wrote in an Instagram post, combining a photo of the apparent traffic with a face-palm emoji, “I took this picture that night because I never been in stand still traffic for this long. I’m old, I’m tired, and I fell asleep. I’m good y’all, thanks for the love.”
