Celtics Guard Arrested After Police Chase

WALTHAM (CBS4) ― Orien Greene, a rookie guard for the Boston Celtics, was arrested Monday morning following a police chase in Waltham.

Investigators say the 24-year-old Green was driving more than 80 mph when he passed a police officer at Main and Linden streets early Monday morning.

The officer gave chase and said Greene's SUV passed several cars and reached speeds of 90 mph.

Greene eventually stopped and was arrested at 3:20 a.m.

He was charged with failure to stop for police, operating to endanger, a marked lanes violation and speeding.

A spokesperson for the Celtics said the team is handling the matter internally.

Green is averaging 2.7 points and 14 minutes per game this season.
