Warriors' Charlie Bell Arrested For DUI

OAKLAND (AP) -- Golden State Warriors guard Charlie Bell has been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving.

The team said Saturday that it informed the NBA that Bell was arrested early Friday in Oakland.

Bell said in a statement released by the team that he was cooperating with law enforcement officials and wouldn't comment further.

Warriors general manager Larry Riley said the team was "disappointed that one of our players would put himself in a questionable position" and that the organization is taking the situation "very seriously."

Bell has appeared in 15 games this season with Golden State.
