Lebron James is probably not a happy camper today. Its bad enough that his Miami Heat squad lost to the lowly Milwaukee Bucks last night, proving the Heat are still nowhere near consistent and ready for the post-season run. But to make matters worse word is breaking courtesy of TMZ that Lebron James’ mother Gloria James was arrested early this morning after assulting a parking valet….
Law enforcement sources told TMZ … officers received a call about an incident at the hotel at 4:47 AM — and arrested Gloria on suspicion of misdemeanor assault a short time later. We’re told Gloria has been released from custody.
The Miami Herald has obtained the police report — and claims it shows Gloria has been in trouble with the law before … having been arrested in 2006 for DUI in Ohio.
LeBron was in Miami last night — where the Heat played the Bucks … and lost.
Hotel sources tell us … Gloria was partying at LIV nightclub with some of her girlfriends earlier in the night … but when she tried to leave the hotel, she got into an altercation with one of the valet parking attendants.
We’re told Gloria allegedly assaulted the valet … and cops were then called to the hotel. Gloria was eventually arrested … the valet was not….
Gloria James — LeBron’s mother — was “apparently intoxicated” when she allegedly slapped a valet at a fancy Miami Beach hotel this morning … this according to police. The Miami Beach PD released a statement … explaining, “Mr. Sorel Rockfeller, a hotel valet worker, claimed he was assaulted by Ms. James, who was angered because her car was taking too long to be delivered. Several witnesses supported Mr. Rockfeller’s account of what occurred.” The statement continues. “Both Ms. James and the driver of the vehicle were initially uncooperative with the investigating officer. Ms. James was apparently intoxicated as she had bloodshot eyes and a strong odor of alcohol on her breath.” “Ms. James was arrested and taken to the Miami Beach Police Department where she was processed, issued a Promise to Appear and subsequently released.” James was charged with simply battery and disorderly intoxication. Sources tell us the valet sought medical attention after the incident — but is expected to return to work.
