Wow, talk about stupid. Firing shots a couple blocks away from the White House? What was the guy thinking?

That it beats playing ball in Italy.
What a nutjob. Thank goodness the Bobcats had already gotten rid of him.

Good to know Keith Bogans was traded for such a smart person

Re: Lonny Baxter arrested by Secret Service after shots heard
I wonder if he had signed his contract with the Italian club.It seems that they might be having second thoughts if it isn't done already.

Re: Lonny Baxter arrested by Secret Service after shots heard
They should be having second thoughts even if it is done already. Doesn't "He's a nutjob" qualify as a decent reason to void a players' contract?

Re: Lonny Baxter arrested by Secret Service after shots heard
This is very sad, actually. I followed Baxter & Dixon thru their years at UMD, including their run to the NCAA 2002 championship. Lonny went from a raw, low-talent player to a great team player. And, he always stayed out of trouble.
Looks like another case of hanging with the wrong folk. That will do it everytime.
I still hope that Baxter was NOT the one who fired the weapon (there was someone else with him in the vehicle) and that he gets his act together. Maybe a good talking from Coach Williams will straighten him out.
Oh well.

Re: Lonny Baxter arrested by Secret Service after shots heard
Considering all that has and hasn't been said, sounds to me like a dope deal gone bad or something like that. Any wagers that his career's dead?

Re: Lonny Baxter arrested by Secret Service after shots heard

Baxter's *** is still in jail and he's up against some new law in DC designed to combat recent increases in violent crime(Apparently they were moved to action when some tourists were the victims as opposed to the years of the same stuff happening in low income neighbourhoods)
Lonny Baxter, the former University of Maryland basketball star turned professional player arrested this week on felony gun charges, will be staying in jail until at least Wednesday.
Baxter, who starred for Maryland's 2002 national championship team, was due to have a hearing today in D.C. Superior Court to determine whether he would continue to be held in the D.C. jail without bond.
But Baxter's lawyers, Richard Finci and Harold Martin, told Magistrate Judge J. Dennis Doyle that they wanted to postpone the hearing because they plan to challenge a recent bail law change that presumes anyone charged with carrying a pistol without a license to be dangerous.
