Here is the timeline of events in the Kobe Bryant case, courtesy of the Denver Post:

June 30: Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant and three associates check into The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera, a $360- to $700-a-night resort hotel in Edwards, about 10 p.m.

10:15 p.m.: Bryant moves around the lobby.

11 p.m.: A 19-year-old woman who works at the hotel as a concierge and receptionist goes off duty.

11:13 p.m.: A phone call lasting a few minutes is placed from Bryant's room to what is believed to be his Newport Beach, Calif., home, where his wife, Vanessa, and young daughter are staying.

Before midnight: Bryant's accuser goes to his room and stays for an undetermined length of time, according to several hotel employees.

July 1, morning: Bryant has arthroscopic surgery on his right knee at the Steadman Hawkins Clinic in Vail.

Midday: The woman, accompanied by her parents, reports the alleged sexual assault to the Eagle County Sheriff's Department.

11 p.m.: Sheriff's investigators interview Bryant at the lodge and collect evidence from his room.

July 2, 2:30 a.m.: Bryant's three associates take a taxi from The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera to Valley View Hospital in Glenwood Springs, 60 miles away. Reports said Bryant was at the hospital to provide a DNA sample.

3:30 a.m.: Bryant leaves the hospital and departs in a taxi.

4:15 a.m.: Bryant and his entourage check into the Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs.

7:15 p.m.: Bryant and his associates leave the Hotel Colorado and take a flight back to Southern California, having been told, his attorneys say, that no arrest warrant would be issued or criminal charges filed until July 7, after the three-day Independence Day weekend.

July 3, 5:30 p.m.: Eagle County Sheriff Joseph Hoy obtains an arrest warrant from District Judge Russell Granger, creating controversy because he did not go through the usual step of having District Attorney Mark Hurlbert sign off on it.

July 4, morning: Bryant's Colorado-based attorney, Pamela Mackey, contacts him by phone in California and says, "You need to come and turn yourself in right now."

Bryant arrives at the Eagle County Regional Airport on a private jet and surrenders to authorities. Officers fingerprint, interview and book him into the Eagle County Detention Facility on suspicion of felony sexual assault. He is released on a $25,000 bond less than an hour later.

July 6: The Eagle County Sheriff's Department announces Bryant's arrest. Mackey proclaims her client's innocence.
