<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>CARLSBAD ---- California Highway Patrol officers arrested the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers NBA basketball team early today on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol in an unincorporated section of Carlsbad, authorities said.Officer Tom Kerns of the California Highway Patrol said Gerald "Jerry" Hatten Buss, 74, of Playa del Rey in Los Angeles, was taken into custody shortly before 1 a.m. after driving his gold-colored Mercedes the wrong way on Mountain View Drive, which has double yellow lines."Yes, we did arrest Jerry Buss," Kerns said.He said Buss was "relatively cooperative" and didn't try to resist when he was placed under arrest.The officer said Buss was booked into the Vista jail on suspicion of drunken driving and driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 or above.Shortly after noon Buss issued an e-mailed statement through a Lakers' spokesman."Although I was driving only a short distance, it was a bad decision and I was wrong to do it," Buss said in the statement. "It was a mistake I will not make again."The spokesman, John Black, said by phone that Buss was in the Carlsbad vicinity because "he has a home down there in that area." Black declined to say whether the home is in Carlsbad or elsewhere in the county.</div>Not particularly important but it's interesting nonetheless.
