Sacramento Kings’ Zach Randolph was one of two men arrested during a clash that began Wednesday night between police and community members at Nickerson Gardens housing project in Watts, authorities said.
Randolph, 36, was arrested on suspicion of possession of marijuana for sale. Also arrested was Stanley Walton, 43, on suspicion of carrying a gun as an ex-convict.
Los Angeles County sheriff’s records show that Randolph was arrested and held on $20,000 bail. The LAPD has given a different spelling of his name but confirmed that the
NBA player had been arrested.
Randolph, a former All-Star, recently signed a
two-year, $24-million free agent contract with the Sacramento Kings after eight seasons with the
Memphis Grizzlies. He spent part of the 2008-09 season with the Clippers. He grew up in Indiana and attended Michigan State University,
according to the NBA.
Five police vehicles and one sheriff’s vehicle were vandalized with smashed windows and slashed tires, said LAPD Officer Liliana Preciado, a department spokeswoman. No officers were injured. Police also recovered two guns, impounded two vehicles and impounded narcotics during the clash, she said.
A gang unit was in the area — near 112th Street and Zamora Avenue — around 10:20 p.m. Wednesday when officers observed a large crowd that was drinking, smoking marijuana, playing loud music and blocking the road, Preciado said.

Officers chased the group and detained two men. While they were detaining the men, the growing crowd became agitated and surrounded the officers, Preciado said.
Police units and Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies responded and formed skirmish lines to disperse the crowd, she said. Police left the area around 1 a.m.
“There were no incidents as the skirmish lines were ongoing,” Preciado said
