Former San Antonio Spur Robertson Arrested

Authorities said former San Antonio Spurs player Alvin Robertson has been arrested after cutting off a GPS monitor while on bond in a 2009 case.

The Bexar County Sheriff's Office said 52-year-old Robertson was arrested without incident at an apartment complex on Monday afternoon in San Antonio. The sheriff's office said he'd been on the run since Jan. 5 after cutting off the monitor.

Sheriff's officials said Robertson, a former NBA All-Star whose career ended in 1996, had been out on bond in a 2009 case in which he was initially charged with trafficking of a person less than 18 for prostitution. He'd been released from jail Dec. 12 and had been required to wear the monitor.

Robertson played professionally in the 1980s and 1990s, earning accolades for his defensive skills and steals. He made several All-Star game appearances and was a member of the gold medal-winning 1984 Olympic team.

An attorney listed for him did not immediately return a call.
