Encinitas, CA (AHN) - Veteran sportscaster Jim Lampley was arrested on Wednesday on charges of domestic violence.

The 57-year-old was released on bail yesterday from the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.
Capt. Glenn Rebell spoke on behalf of the police. The charges stemmed from an incident that occurred at the residence of Lampley's girlfriend.
