Seems odd that two Hawks players would randomly start “charging” cops when the stabbing of Chris Copeland had absolutely nothing to do with them.
But, that is what the cops are accusing them of.
One of the Hawk players who was arrested, Thabo Sefolosha, was charged with resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration and disorderly conduct after he refused to disperse and then “charged at an officer,” a police spokeswoman said.
The other Hawk arrested, Pero Antic, was charged with obstructing governmental administration, menacing and disorderly conduct. While Mr. Sefolosha was being arrested, the police said, Mr. Antic “physically grabbed another police officer.”
What good reason would the Hawks players have to interfere with an investigation where another NBA player was stabbed?
Just makes no sense. Hopefully they will make a statement soon. Here is a TL of how the Hawks even ended up at the club.
