LAS VEGAS -- The report detailing the arrest of Palms Casino Resort owner George Maloof Jr. has been released by police. Maloof was arrested for drunken driving a few weeks ago near his Spanish Trail home.

According to the report, the 46-year-old Maloof was observed going 72 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone and losing control of his car as he attempted to make a turn. The police officer who observed Maloof's driving said, at one point, he drove into oncoming traffic and hit a curb. The officer also reported that Maloof nearly backed into the police motorcycle and couldn't find his driver's license, which turned out to be expired.

The officer reported that Maloof smelled of alcohol, had slurred speech, was wobbling and failed the field sobriety test.

Maloof ended up spending the night of his arrest in jail because he didn't post bail and didn't want to call anyone. He was released the next morning.

Maloof owns the resort with his brothers and sister. His family also owns the NBA's Sacramento Kings.
