Men’s basketball assistant coach Larry Harris was arrested and charged withresisting and obstructing a public officer Wednesday night, according to a statement released by the Raleigh Police Department.

Harris was pulled for speeding and then “declined to comply with severalinstructions from the officer,” according to RPD’s spokesman Jim Sughrue in the statement.

Harris was taken to the Wake County Jail around 11 p.m. Wednesday and released at approximately the same time he arrived on $1,500 bail.

According to the Associated Press, Harris’s lawyer Lee Turner saidHarris is filing a complaint for “excessive force and conduct unbecoming anofficer” against Raleigh Police Officer R.W. King.

According to the RPD written statement, a Raleigh Police officer clocked Harris going 41 mph in a 25-mph zone, and he gave Harris a citation for speeding in addition to his arrest.

Harris was an assistant coach for 10 seasons under Herb Sendek and left to join Sendek’s staff at Arizona State after last season. He then returned as an assistant coach after head coach Sidney Lowe offered him a position.

His son, Simon Harris, was a junior this past season on the team, sitting out a season after transferring from Elon.

Harris played college basketball at Pittsburgh, was in the NBA for two seasons and spent time as an assistant coach at Duquesne, Oregon State and Washington State before joining Sendek’s staff in the 1996-1997 season.
