Kings TV personality Heidi Androl, who was arrested on suspicion of DUI early Monday morning and didn’t take part in the telecast of the Kings’ game Monday night at Staples Center, returned to the broadcast crew Thursday.

Androl does rinkside interviews and contributes other features to the telecasts. She also hosts segments on Kings Vision, the team’s video portal.

Mike Altieri, the Kings’ vice president of broadcasting and communications, said the club would have no comment because it was a personal matter. He said she had returned to work on Tuesday after taking Monday off.
