Ex-NBA player Lazar Hayward arrested after submitting fake COVID-19 documents in Hawaii

Former NBA player Lazar Hayward was one of two people arrested in Hawaii earlier this week for uploading fake COVID-19 test results into the state’s Safe Travels portal, according to Hawaii News Now.

Hayward, 34, and Raven Randle, 33, flew into Kauai from Los Angeles on Tuesday. Per the report, the two then uploaded false negative coronavirus test documents in an effort to avoid a mandatory quarantine on the island.

Police later arrested the two and charged them for unsworn falsification after the documents were flagged, per Hawaii News Now. The two were released from custody and taken back to the airport, where they were put on a flight back to Los Angeles.
