AKRON, Ohio -- The mother of NBA star LeBron James was arrested Friday night for allegedly driving while intoxicated, disorderly conduct and other charges.

Two off-duty officers stopped Gloria James, 37, of Green, in her 2004 Cadillac Escalade just before midnight in Akron.

"The driver was driving in and out of traffic. She was traveling left of center," Akron police Lt. Rick Edwards said.

According to the police report, she was driving in an erratic manner, weaving in and out of traffic at a high riate of speed.

"She opened the door to step out and the officer could smell a strong odor of alcohol. She appeared to be disoriented. She had glassy eyes," Edwards said.

James was asked to take a sobriety check, but she refused.

"They tried to place her in handcuffs and there was a struggle. She basically got free from one officer. The other officer had to come over and assist. They finally got her in handcuffs and under control," Edwards said.

Once in the cruiser, police said she started to kick out the driver's side window until it came out of its frame.

"She was screaming and hollering. She was leaning into the front part of the curiser hollering and screaming," Edwards said.

Police said at one point officers used mace to subdue James.

Although she had been her son's frequent companion thoughout his rise to superstardom, the police had no idea who they were arresting.

"The point they identified her is when they got the driver's license. One officer identified her at that point," Edwards said.

LeBron James has been on a West Coast road trip with the Cavaliers.
