WEST DES MOINES (AP) — A former Iowa State basketball player who now plays for the Fargo Beez of the International Basketball Association was arrested following a police chase.

Officers said Kenny Pratt was still wearing his uniform following an IBA playoff game in which the Beez defeated the Des Moines Dragons 117-116 when he was arrested Tuesday night.

West Des Moines police said they were notified by Ames officers Tuesday that they had a warrant charging Pratt with contempt of court.

Officers talked to Pratt and his coach before the game at West Des Moines Dowling High School, and they agreed to let Pratt play if he surrendered after the game.

But Pratt tried to flee the school immediately after the game.

Witnesses said Pratt jumped into a van driven by another person after the game. The van was stopped a short time later and Pratt was taken into custody without incident, officers said. He was later released from the Polk County Jail on bond.

In addition to the Ames charge, West Des Moines police charged Pratt with interference with official acts.

The contempt of court charge stemmed from a 1996 incident at a bar in Ames.

Pratt was charged with disorderly conduct and had failed to pay his fine, said Ames police Sgt. Jim Robinson.
