OLD SAYBROOK, Conn. (AP) - A bank is foreclosing on the Old Saybrook restaurant owned by former NBA star Vin Baker.

TD Banknorth N.A. holds a nearly $1 million mortgage on Vinnie's Saybrook Fish House and claims the restaurant's owner has defaulted on it.

The bank has filed a lawsuit in Middletown Superior Court. Officials say the restaurant has been closed for weeks.

Baker, who grew up in Old Saybrook, played for the University of Hartford before playing in the NBA for 14 years.

Baker has had other problems. He was arrested last June and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Last month he pleaded guilty in Norwich Superior Court to the lesser charge of reckless driving.
