UCLA commit Reeves Nelson has run-in with the law [UPDATED]

UCLA men's basketball commit Reeves Nelson reportedly was cited this week on alcohol-related charges.

The four-star power forward out of Modesto committed more than a year ago, making him the first player in the Bruins' 2009 class.

Nelson missed a game for Modesto Christian on Tuesday and, according to Internet forums, is serving an automatic five-day suspension. A record check of Stanislaus County, where Modesto is located, indicates that Nelson was not arrested or booked. The system, however, does not show citations.

UPDATE: A reliable source has confirmed that Nelson was involved in an alcohol-related incident and was suspended for a short period of time. He apparently was in a vehicle that was involved in a minor accident (characterized as a "fender-bender") but was not behind the wheel. Expect additional information in the next few days.
