Multiple reports are saying LA Lakers guard Kobe Bryant has been arrested on a sexual misconduct charge in Colorado:
In a statement Sunday, authorities said the warrant was issued after deputies investigated a report made Wednesday claiming sexual misconduct by Bryant. The report said the incident happened in a hotel in the Edwards area of Eagle County that night. After a series of interviews and a review of the physical evidence, investigators met with representatives for District Attorney Mark Hurlbert and concluded they had enough evidence for the felony sexual assault count, the statement said.
Edwards is just down the road from the resort area of Vail, if you were wondering what in the world Bryant might have been doing in the middle of Colorado in July. All reports say that Bryant cooperated fully with police. The Lakers have issued a statement expressing shock at the charges, something I'm sure most people share.
UPDATE: ESPN is reporting that Bryant was in Edwards to get a second opinion on a shoulder injury. The physician Bryant was consulting is based in Vail.
