Gilbert Arenas Arrested

While this is such a minor incident, I still do not understand why professional athletes feel the need to identify themselves as athletes when they get arrested for whatever reason. Is it supposed to soften the blow or what?

Who knows what the context of his "I'm a professional athlete, don't arrest me" speech is. It sounds like everyone is getting arrested this weekend in Miami Beach, imagine how little time these officers are actually spending on these police reports. For all we know, these sentences could have been spaced out over several minutes, and not necessarily even directly connected to each other.

I'm hopeful this is the case, because I love Gilbert Arenas and don't want to hear about him acting like a pompous dick.

atleast it isnt a serious offense, was scared

it seems to me, by the charges, that the cops had nothing better to do but harass some athletes and lock them up, so that they can say they locked them up...

i wouldn't be surprised if the judge throws out at least Gilbert's charges...

Completely off topic but, did you see Marion Berry this weekend?

Back on topic, this sounds like some BS, although Gilbert is lucky he didn't get mased for not backing up. I do agree though that the judge will probably throw this one out, especially since Gilbert does a lot for the community.

As far as I know, it is not illegal to observe a police officer doing his job (I think there is a distance limit, however). If Gilbert's car was in an acceptable parking space, then the cop has no right to tell Gilbert to leave (and then arrest him for not leaving). It seems like just another case of cops abusing their power.

if the guy the cops arrested was drunk and in the middle of the street (blocking traffic) and arenas either joined him there or interfered with their arrest, he was in the wrong, even if it was sticking up for his team mate and wasn't a big deal. It does sound like he did in fact hassle the cops in a very minor way, so i highly doubt it's an abuse of power. Though if the same thing happened 10-20 times, i think very few people would actually be charged and brought in for it or whatnot.

Oddly enough, Yes I did. He and his old lady were eating crabs at Lazy Susan's in Lewes on Saturday night.
