WASHINGTON - Eric Musselman, first-year head coach of the Sacramento Kings, was arrested on a drunken driving charge early Saturday.

He was released without bail from Sacramento County Main Jail at dawn, the Sheriff's Department said in Sacramento. He was cited for misdemeanor driving under the influence.

The Kings beat the Utah Jazz on Friday night in Musselman's first home game at ARCO Arena. The 41-year-old coach was pulled over at 2:15 a.m. and failed three sobriety tests performed by the California Highway Patrol and had a blood-alcohol level of 0.11. The legal limit is 0.08.

Musselman has coached just four preseason games since being hired in June. He compiled a 75-89 record in two seasons (2002-04) as head coach of the Warriors. Golden State had the NBA's most improved record in 2003 at 38-44, which was 17 more wins than the previous season.
