Carmelo Anthony Arrested on Suspicion of DUI
Quote:
DENVER (AP)—NBA star Carmelo Anthony has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
Police say the Denver Nuggets forward was arrested early Monday on Interstate 25. He was pulled over for weaving and failing to dim his lights.
Detective Sharon Hahn says Anthony failed a series of sobriety tests. He was ticketed and released at the scene, but Hahn does not know how he got home.
Anthony is due in court on May 14.
The Nuggets said they are aware of the situation but declined comment.

Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony was arrested early Monday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence, Denver police said.
Anthony was driving south on Interstate 25 at around 4 a.m. when he was pulled over and taken into custody. Denver police said he was driving a silver Mercedes and was stopped for failing to drive in a single lane and failing to dim lights. Several Denver media outlets reported that he was given a Breathalyzer test.
"We are aware of the situation with Carmelo Anthony," the Nuggets said in a statement, adding that they are gathering information and have no further comment.
Anthony's lawyer confirmed that the forward was released on bond later Monday morning and a summons appearance was scheduled for May 14.
"He cooperated by consenting to a blood test, the results of which will not be available for approximately two weeks," attorney Dan Recht said. "There was no accident and no one was hurt."

Re: Carmelo Anthony Arrested on Suspicion of DUI
If he had failed a series of sobriety tests like the 'media' state, he would not have been released on the scene.
That beign said, why can't these guy shire a driver when they're drunk?

Re: Carmelo Anthony Arrested on Suspicion of DUI
Why is it that once every couple months Melo feels obligated to do something ****ing stupid that makes it hard to remain a fan?

I wonder that same thing every time someone with that kind of $$$$ gets busted for DUI. Pay a buddy $200 to stay sober and drive. Simple solution!

A 23 year-old convicted of drunk driving? It's hardly a big deal.
Then again, as an Iverson fan I am completely desensitized.

It's not just the one thing, and believe me as I'm far from subscribing to the "kid's a thug, clearly not a good person" club as you can get. It's just that between this, the fight at the Garden, the airport pot ordeal, the Stop Snitchin DVD, at some point, as a fan, you get some sick of having to defend your favorite player all the time. And as an AI fan, I know you can relate.

No, Thomas and his guys weren't the only ones in the wrong Saturday. The Nuggets have their own issues. But when it was over, at least they weren't crying, at least they weren't punking.
It's all gone in New York now the pride, the respect, the dignity. This isn't just a bad team; this is a bad act. A once proud franchise and fan base brought to its knees as its pathetic coach makes excuses and whines for mercy.

Re: Carmelo Anthony Arrested on Suspicion of DUI
as a fan its pretty annoying when a player does something like this. a lot of 20 something year old kids get into this situation. its not because melo is a bad dude or whatever you will read in the media. Melo hasn't competely grown up yet. You've got Lebron going 101, so I hate reading articles like on yahoo attacking Melo like he is any worse than anyone else.
at the end of the day I enjoy watching basketball played at a high level. I really dont care about the endorsed products, "nba cares" bs, or any other marketing the player is involved in. I turn on the tv or go to a game to watch basketball at its best. I don't look up to the vast majority of these players (great guys like Mutombo aside).
You all remember charles barkley " I am not a role model". I grew up in that generation. I wanted to play like Charles but that was about it. You dont see me throwing people through windows or spitting on girls. If parents get involved these are non issues. Let the legal system take its course and move on.

I heard from a buddy that their is a minor league team project that allows your average fan to be a part owner. Basically you buy a share and you get to vote on basketball operations. I guess this includes the coach, players and all the other stuff. The website is currently guaging interest in the IBL. It isn't the pros but it still is basketball. Sounds better than running some pointless fantasy team.

Drunk driving is always a big deal. People seem to have a hard time grasping the fact that they are driving a gigantic two ton weapon on the roads. People die because of things like this.
And I'm not trying to be overly dramatic about it, but it seems to often that people don't really appreciate that they can very easily kill people behind the wheel of a car, even when they're not drunk. Heck, just a couple of weeks ago my aunt killed someone on a motorcycle because she just didn't see him when she made a turn. Now she has to worry about facing vehicular manslaughter charges. And someone is dead now.
The same thing happens when people distract themselves by reading or using makeup or a cell phone while they're driving. People don't realize just how dangerous it is driving something so huge at 60 mph.

Re: Carmelo Anthony Arrested on Suspicion of DUI
I ride a bike to work most days, and it's amazing how many people can miss a 6'3" guy wearing red whiel htey're talking on a phone.
I nearly got killed about 5 times in a two week span last summer.
It's ridiculous.
