ESPN - Dallas Mavericks shooting guard DeShawn Stevenson
was arrested for public intoxication in Irving, Texas, on Tuesday
night, two days after the franchise won its first NBA championship.
Irving police were called to the Grand Venetian apartment complex at
about 10:30 p.m. CT after receiving a call to report an intoxicated
person walking in the area. Officers reported that Stevenson, who does
not live at the complex, appeared intoxicated and did not know where he
was.
He was arrested without incident on a Class C misdemeanor charge,
based on the results of a sobriety test, an officer's observations and
his statements.
"They felt he was a danger to himself and others," Irving public
information officer John Argumaniz said. "Basically, he was intoxicated
to a point where [police] didn't feel comfortable letting him walk away
or leave. They didn't have any other options at that point."
Stevenson was released on $475 bond at 5:30 a.m. local time Wednesday.
Do these pigs realize he just won the NBA Championship? Give the man a break, he is just trying to black out and wander around the streets. I'm sure he was no more intoxicated than the average college student. Maybe they were Heat fans and saw him rocking his Lebron, How's My Dirk Taste T-shirt.
