According to the Washington State’s Yolo County Sheriff’s office, the 37-year-old baller reportedly drove from his Alhambra, California home at around 1 a.m. on October 10th and was en route to his girlfriend’s place in Seattle, Washington some 1,100 miles away.

Deputies discovered Harris’ black Nissan sedan on October 13th parked near the side of a highway that is not so traveled about 60 miles northwest of Sacramento. The deputy who stumbled across the 6’9,” 280-pound player’s vehicle searched the immediate area for anything out of the ordinary and found nothing.
