It wasn’t until the middle of last year that I realized that Wallace was still in the NBA, I thought he was retired, but he was collecting free money with Tracy McGrady in Detroit.
It is a bad mix of having a gun in the ride and driving drunk allegedly.
It should be noted that the gun Wallace was carrying was unloaded, so he couldn’t shoot anyone (pistol whip maybe). Here are the details.
Detroit Pistons center Ben Wallace was arrested at 3 a.m. on Saturday in Bloomfield Township, MI. on suspicion of drunken driving, the Detroit Free Press reports.
It gets worse. Per the report, police found an unloaded pistol in a backpack in his 2007 Cadillac Escalade. Along with being charged with a 93-day misdemeanor for drunken driving, Wallace faces a 5-year felony charge for carrying a concealed weapon.
Have you noticed that all the DUI arrest for athletes happen after 2am?
If I was them I would leave the club or party at 1am before the police start setting up shop or just go to Waffle House until the sun rises. I understand it is your right to carry a gun, but is there any reason that Ben Wallace feels the need to be packing heat in the ride? Does he think Delonte West is after him?
It is a lockout, so no one will care but………….
