Three-time NBA all-star Steve Francis has been arrested at a Los Angeles airport for being drunk, police said.

Airport spokesman Albert Rodriguez says Francis was arrested Thursday evening because he was intoxicated and abusive towards staff.

The 33-year-old Francis spent the night in jail before being released Friday on 10,000 dollars bail.

Francis, an all-star in 2002, 2003 and 2004, was drafted second overall out of college by the Vancouver Grizzlies, who traded him to Houston in a three-team, 11 player deal in August 1999.

He is scheduled to appear in court on November 5.
