Must have been the halftime poker withdrawl. Seriously, are the NBA playoffs even still going on? I have no idea.

well, it's not something serious. He'll probably pay a fine or do some community service, and it will be erased from his record.

Re: Gilbert Arenas Arrested
 

its getting so if you are a professional athlete you must have something on your record. it must give you cred or something

Re: Gilbert Arenas Arrested
 

Yeah this is minor, but I like how he said you cant arrest me....i am thinking they might have been drunk, but I guess Arenas is wierd like that anyways, and maybe he would say that while getting arrested sober.

Re: Gilbert Arenas Arrested
 

i think that was more in response to him thinking he didn't do anything wrong, not that he's some idiot who thinks he's above the law.

Re: Gilbert Arenas Arrested
 

He was just trying to help his teammate out and got caught for the same thing. Hopefully nothing serious.

Re: Gilbert Arenas Arrested
 

at leat he got arrested sticking up for his team mate. there are a lot worse things to get arrested for than that...

Re: Gilbert Arenas Arrested
 

Gilbert got the cop's attention and got arrested too. If it was Antawn the cop would have made it to the baseline and walked right past him...

While this is such a minor incident, I still do not understand why professional athletes feel the need to identify themselves as athletes when they get arrested for whatever reason. Is it supposed to soften the blow or what?

Who knows what the context of his "I'm a professional athlete, don't arrest me" speech is. It sounds like everyone is getting arrested this weekend in Miami Beach, imagine how little time these officers are actually spending on these police reports. For all we know, these sentences could have been spaced out over several minutes, and not necessarily even directly connected to each other.

I'm hopeful this is the case, because I love Gilbert Arenas and don't want to hear about him acting like a pompous dick.

Re: Gilbert Arenas Arrested
 

atleast it isnt a serious offense, was scared

Re: Gilbert Arenas Arrested
 

it seems to me, by the charges, that the cops had nothing better to do but harass some athletes and lock them up, so that they can say they locked them up...

i wouldn't be surprised if the judge throws out at least Gilbert's charges...
