Former UVA & NBA Basketball Star Ralph Sampson Arrested for Child Support Violation? Not True says Sampson

Ex-NBA star Ralph Sampson jailed in Gwinnett; disputes claim of child support failure ajc.com


College basketball great and four-time NBA All-Star Ralph Sampson is free after being jailed for several hours in Gwinnett County for numerous traffic violations.

But Sampson, 51, says police got one accusation wrong.
"My license was not suspended for failure to meet child support obligations of any kind," he said in an email sent Wednesday afternoon to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The former Houston Rockets center, who lives in Duluth, was arrested Tuesday night for having, among other things, a suspended license that was the result of failure to meet child support obligations, according to police reports.
Sampson was pulled over that evening around 7 p.m., in the Peachtree Corners area of Gwinnett County by a police officer doing license tag checks. Sampson’s license plate was expired.
