Report: Former Tar Heel PJ Hairston arrested in Wrightsville Beach

WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH

Wilmington TV station WECT is reporting that former University of North Carolina basketball player PJ Hairston has been arrested on an outstanding warrant in Wrightsville Beach.

Wrightsville Beach Police Chief Dan House told WECT that after a disturbance at a Wings store, a man driving Hairston’s car was stopped by police who asked where the car owner was.

Hairston was on the beach strand and after officers discovered the car’s owner — Hairston — had a warrant out on him out of Orange County, Hairston was arrested.

House said he didn’t know what the warrant was for and that Hairston was arrested without a problem.
