The sad saga of Delonte West has taken another turn.

And not a good one.

The mentally ill former NBA player was arrested earlier this month in Virginia when someone spotted him trying to break into a car.  When police arrived at the scene and confronted West he fled.

They were able to catch him and was charged with vehicle trespassing, entering a vehicle, fleeing from law enforcement, and being drunk in public.

He was released from jail on October 16 and will be back in court later this year.

Earlier this month West's former boss Mark Cuban, who's tried to help his former player over the years, gave a sad update on his condition.

"No.  It's a struggle for him. I mean, addiction is awful. And mental illness is awful. He's at the point in his life where he's got to want to be helped,” Cuban said when asked if West was doing well.
