King, 38, was arrested at Orchard Lake St. Mary's High School and is in the Oakland County Jail.

King, along with Jalen Rose, Chris Webber, Ray Jackson and Juwan Howard, made up the Fab Five at Michigan in the 1991-92 and 1992-93 seasons, when the Wolverines reached the Final Four. The banners from those appearances were removed and the Fab Five's records were erased from the Michigan record books in the wake of the Ed Martin cash scandal.

King played four seasons at Michigan and averaged 11.9 points and 4.1 assists per game.

King, Rose and Jackson were honored in November 2010 at halftime of a Michigan basketball game. King was in Ann Arbor last month as part of the Jalen Rose Leadership Academy fundraiser golf event at Barton Hills Country Club.
