"She opened the door to step out and the officer could smell a strong odor of alcohol. She appeared to be disoriented. She had glassy eyes," Edwards said.

James was asked to take a sobriety check, but she refused.

"They tried to place her in handcuffs and there was a struggle. She basically got free from one officer. The other officer had to come over and assist. They finally got her in handcuffs and under control," Edwards said.

Once in the cruiser, police said she started to kick out the driver's side window until it came out of its frame.

"She was screaming and hollering. She was leaning into the front part of the curiser hollering and screaming," Edwards said.

Police said at one point officers used mace to subdue James.

Although she had been her son's frequent companion thoughout his rise to superstardom, the police had no idea who they were arresting.

"The point they identified her is when they got the driver's license. One officer identified her at that point," Edwards said.

James posted a $2,500 bond and was released.

LeBron James has been on a West Coast road trip with the Cavaliers.

"I don't know all the info of what's going on because of me being on the West Coast. Once I find that out and sit down with my family, I can comment on it a little bit better, LeBron James said.

She is scheduled to appear in Akron Municipal Court on Monday afternoon.
