Sean Williams Arrested at Denver Mall

IMMEDIATELY JOINS NBA ARREST HALL OF FAME

From the Washington Post:




Nets F Sean Williams was arrested yesterday at a cellphone store in a mall in suburban Denver on accusations that got into an argument with a clerk and threw a computer monitor. He wasn't available to play against the Nuggets last night.

At about 2 p.m. yesterday, officers responded to a disturbance at a cellphone store at the Park Meadows Mall, Detective Sgt. Ron Pinson of the Lone Tree police said.

Damages were estimated at $1,200 to $1,300, he said.


From a slightly less credible source, called Wikipedia, with no citation, we get this hilarious anecdote:

On March 16, 2009, Williams was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and criminal mischief after an altercation at a cell phone store at Park Meadows Mall in Lone Tree, CO[3]. Sean's behavior allegedly became aggressive when he found he was unable to purchase an iPhone due to lack of identification. He told an employee, "Your policy may be I need an ID, but my policy is I get what I want when I want". After destroying an AT&T monitor, he was arrested by the Lone Tree Police Department.



Now, my interactions with my cell phone carrier, which rhymes were Borizon, have often made me angry. We all know that cell phone companies are basically evil. However, if they are torturing you, call the Better Business Bureau. Shoot an email off to Consumerist. At the very least, get someone in your posse to get into an argument with a clerk and chuck the computer monitor. Don't do it yourself, especially a week after you got arrested on your old school's campus for mysterious reasons!

I used to defend Sean Williams. He's a smart guy, I would say. He almost got the same SAT score as David Robinson, I would say. I wouldn't let people get away with labeling him as a troublemaker when all he seemed to do is get caught for things that probably half of his teammates were also doing, i.e. smoking pot. Then he got booted from the team, and I started to hear stories about him that grew increasingly ridiculous. If you want to hear some ridiculous stories, ask someone who knew him at BC. My zeal for defending him waned, and now it looks like he chucked his last computer monitor as a member of the New Jersey Nets. NBA players do a lot of insane things, but trashing a cell phone store at 2 in the afternoon, in Denver of all places, takes a special type of NBA dumbass. Our prediction? Sean breaks his policy of getting what he wants when he gets released.Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2009/03/sean-williams-arrested-at-denver-mall.html
