Koby Altman, the President of Basketball Operations for the Cleveland Cavaliers, was arrested last Friday night for operating a vehicle while impaired.
Footage of the arrest was uploaded online on Tuesday, and it showed the 41-year-old executive stumble several times as an Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper performed various sobriety tests.
Altman did not forget to mention to the officer that he works for the Cavaliers in another footage, wherein he underwent another round of sobriety tests.
The Cavaliers president failed to balance his body in the third footage, showing that he was unfit to drive a vehicle. However, according to the authorities, he cooperated properly with the officer with no signs of disrespect.
"We are aware of an incident involving Cavaliers President of Basketball Operations Koby Altman. We are currently gathering more information and have no further comment at this time," the Cavs said in a statement.
Altman became the team's president of basketball operations in July 2017, following the departure of David Griffin. He joined the team in 2012 and served various front-office roles before his current post.
He oversaw the acquisition of Donovan Mitchell via trade and the drafting of Darius Garland and Evan Mobley.
