What does an NBA All-Star do after a bad game? Drink and drive.

Carmelo Anthony was arrested early morning for driving under the influence.

Police said Carmelo was arrested on Interstate 25. He was pulled over for weaving and failing to dim his lights.

“Detective Sharon Hahn said Anthony, who was alone in the car, failed a series of sobriety tests. He was ticketed and released at the scene, but Hahn did not know how he got home. Denver police don’t jail DUI suspects and Anthony was no exception, Hahn said.”

Anthony is due in court May 14.

Anthony apologized through his attorney, Dan Recht.

“Carmelo apologizes to his fans, the Denver community, his teammates and the Nuggets organization for the distraction this is causing them,” Recht said.

Anthony  apparently wasn’t happy when was held to 11 points on 3-of-14 shooting against a Rockets team that was missing defensive specialist Shane Battier.
