The Indy Star added this detail.

According to the police report, Hill was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon. A police officer from Alpharetta, Georgia, wrote that Hill explained he was “in a hurry.”

Reckless driving in Georgia is a misdemeanor, and while he could get a $1,000 fine and a year in jail, this is not going to come to that.

Expect either the league or the team (or both) to give some kind of punishment to Hill, likely a short suspension at the start of the season.

Hill averaged 12.0 points and 7.9 rebounds a game for the Lakers last season, and signed a one-year, $4 million deal with Indiana to replace Roy Hibbert at the center spot. (Hibbert is now with the Lakers.)
