Jet, August 10, 1998

Two sons of basketball Hall of Famer Julius "Dr. J" Erving were arrested in Altamonte Springs, FL, on charges of possessing a crack pipe and burglarizing a car, USA Today reported.

Cheo Erving, 25, is charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and loitering and prowling, both misdemeanors. His brother Cory, 17, is charged with burglary of a motor vehicle, a felony, and loitering and prowling.

Police found Erving's sons walking away from a car that appeared to have been rummaged through and found the crack pipe in Cheo Erving's pockets after patting him down, the newspaper said.

Erving, one the greatest NBA players of all time, led the Philadelphia 76ers to a championship in 1983. He is currently executive vice president with the NBA's Orlando Magic.
