Joe Bryant, the father of the late star Kobe Bryant, was once arrested after crashing his car while having drugs on him.
Kobe Bryant is well known for being one of the greatest basketball players in NBA history. It's also well known that Kobe's father, Joe Bryant, played in the NBA.
But did you know that Kobe's father once ran from the police while having bags of cocaine in his possession? Yes, this did happen, and it was in 1976 when Joe was a rookie with the Philadelphia 76ers.
The official police report that was featured in the New York Times newspaper stated, “Bryant was arrested after he jumped from the crashed auto and attempted to run. Two plastic bags containing vials of a substance determined to be cocaine were found on the front seat of the car.”
Joe apparently ran from the police in his vehicle, where he eventually crashed into three parked cars and ultimately hit a wall. Kobe's father then attempted to flee from the vehicle on foot and was caught by police.
