Jim Lampley is arrested in domestic violence case


Note: This isn't directly related to Tar Heel sports, but is a UNC alum and well-know sports personality, so I figured it'd be of interest.

TV sportscaster and current HBO boxing announcer was arrested Wednesday afternoon by San Diego County sheriff's deputies on suspicion of domestic violence and other counts. A brief news release from the Sheriff's Department indicated that Lampley, 57, also was being held on suspicion of violating a restraining order and dissuading a witness. He posted bail of $35,500 and was released from the Vista Detention Facility in north San Diego County. (Los Angeles Times)
