Just in case you forgot the 5 things that generally cause men to lose control and get into altercations:
1- Women
2- Money
3- Drugs
4- Sports
5- Music
Not necessarily in that order. Add Ex-Illini Basketball Jereme Richmond to the long list of talented athletes who have blown their opportunities because they couldn’t keep their cool.
Former Illinois basketball player Jereme Richmond has been charged with three felonies, including aggravated battery, stemming from a confrontation with a woman, according to Waukegan police commander Gabe Guzman.
The felony charges are aggravated battery, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and aggravated assault. He also was charged with domestic battery, battery and two counts of disorderly conduct.
According to Guzman, Richmond, 19, was involved in a confrontation with a resident on the 3000 block of Golfmoor in Waukegan on Monday. When a Waukegan police car arrived on the scene, Richmond was in the resident’s yard.
According to the police report, Richmond made a statement to the resident, “You looking for me? I’m here now. I’ll shoot your [expletive].”
Three of Richmond’s friends were found in a car outside the resident’s home. A loaded .40 caliber Smith and Wesson handgun was discovered in the car.
So Richmond channeled his inner Alonzo from Training Day?
Richmond at one time was considering a future NBA Lottery Pick, but after a rough first year at Illinois he decided to declare for the draft. He was not drafted.
Thanks to this arrest I doubt even the D league will be calling, maybe he can start on the Prison Yard.
