Crittenton arrested in California: Former NBA player Javaris Crittenton was in police custody after being arrested at a Southern California airport to board a flight to Atlanta, where his lawyer said he would go to surrender in a murder case. Crittenton, who was suspended from the league for having guns in a locker room with teammate Gilbert Arenas, was arrested Monday evening at John Wayne Airport in Orange County after checking in for a redeye Delta Air Lines flight, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said. She said he was with a male companion who was not arrested. Crittenton was taken to a Los Angeles police station where he was booked on suspicion of being a fugitive from justice.

Fantasy Analysis
Eimiller said he will be held pending a possible court appearance in state court Wednesday before being taken to Atlanta. Crittenton, 23, was wanted on a federal arrest warrant after the FBI learned that he traveled on a one-way ticket to Los Angeles, where he was known to have family and friends, several days after a deadly Aug. 19 shooting. He is on the roster of the NBA developmental league's Dakota Wizards, but it is safe to say that playing basketball is the least of his concerns at the moment. (Updated 08/30/2011).
