Olowokandi arrested, tasered outside Indy club (11-25-04)
Quote:
ATLANTA (CNN) -- NBA player Michael Olowokandi was arrested early Thursday at an Indianapolis nightclub after a dispute with police, during which the Minnesota Timberwolves center was hit twice with an electronic stun gun, police said.
The bar's manager flagged down police officers when Olowokandi refused to leave after the establishment's 3 a.m. closing time, said Sgt. Steve Staletovich, an Indianapolis Police Department spokesman.
Staletovich said an officer used a Taser on Olowokandi when he tried to walk away from police. The first shot appeared to have no effect, but a second allowed police to subdue the player, he said.
Olowokandi, 29, was charged with disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing, both misdemeanors, and was released on his own recognizance Thursday afternoon, Staletovich said.
The Timberwolves were in town to play the Indiana Pacers Thursday night.

So uhh, is he playing? Something tells me trying out Johnson last game wasn't that bad of an idea.

Olowakandi....is there anything good to say about the guy besides that he's 7'0?

He's lucky he's in the NBA right now. Actually, he's lucky he ever even got into the NBA to begin with.

This makes me like the Kandi man even more. The stun gun didnt even affect him the first time? Man he must have been real drunk to not go down from something like that.
Trade Pollard for the Kandi man.

A stun gun? If they wanted to subdue Olowakandi all they had to do was sign him to a long-term contract.
