Former NBA player Lazar Hayward was arrested after he was caught faking COVID-19 documents. The former first-round pick submitted fake necessary documents on his recent trip to Hawaii.
“The travelers, ages 34 and 33, both of Los Angeles, uploaded the fake results to the Hawaii Safe Travels program, according to a news release.
Travelers must submit vaccine cards or negative COVID-19 tests to visit the islands without quarantining. The program flagged the fake tests, prompting an investigation by Hawaii authorities and the arrest Tuesday of the two suspects, police reported. They face a charge of unsworn falsification.
Following their arrests, police drove the two to the airport for a direct flight home, according to the release. No court date has been set.”
Hayward was drafted by the Washington Wizards as the 30th pick of 2010 NBA draft. He played three seasons in the league playing with the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Oklahoma City Thunder. He averaged 2.9 points and 1.3 rebounds on 72 games he played in the NBA.
