NEWARK, Ohio -- Free-agent forward Samaki Walker was charged with drunken driving after an accident earlier this month.

Walker, who spent the last two seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, lost control of his vehicle about 20 miles east of Columbus on July 9, highway patrol dispatcher Pat Snelling said.

Walker's vehicle rolled over, partially ejecting him. He was treated at a hospital and later released. The hospital would not describe what, if any injuries, he sustained.

Walker told troopers he had two alcoholic drinks. Authorities are waiting for the results of a blood test. He was headed home when the accident happened.

He also was charged with failure to maintain control of a vehicle and not wearing a seat belt.

Walker could not be reached for comment. There is no telephone listing for him in Ohio or California. His arraignment is scheduled for July 30.

Walker played three seasons with the Dallas Mavericks, then two seasons with the San Antonio Spurs before joining the Lakers. Last season, Walker averaged 4.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and one assist.

Lakers spokesman John Black said he was not aware of the charges and had no further comment. Walker is an unrestricted free agent and is not expected to be re-signed.
