New Jersey Nets forward Sean Williams was arrested Monday in Denver, after accusations that he got into an arguement with a clerk at a cell phone store and threw a computer monitor. According to Detective Sgt. Ron Pinson of the Lone Tree police, the store's printer and signature pad (no, not the signature pad!) were also damaged in the fracas. Williams was released on bail, held out of Monday night's matchup between the Nets and the Nuggets, and faces a possible suspension.
Perhaps Williams' lawyer Howard Fisher would be best served to offer the explanation of "who among us hasn't been in a cell phone store and wanted to destroy a computer monitor?" I know if I were on that jury, I'd have no choice but to agree. It's entirely possible that all Williams wanted was to upgrade to unlimited text messages because his teammates won't stop stealing his phone and using it to vote for Holly Madison on Dancing With The Stars. Those texts add up, people.
The unfortunate part of this situation is it's not as innocent as it seems. Williams comes complete with a track record of ridiculous mischief. In February, Williams was arrested for trespassing on the Boston College Campus...I'm serious. You see, Williams was booted off Boston College's basketball team in 2007 after multiple rules violations, including, but not limited to, marijuana possession. During his trespassing arrest, police reported Williams was belligerent, and even chose to write obscenities instead of his name on the fingerprint card and trespass warning.
This all begs the question of what's the next step in crime for Sean Williams? Rumor has it, the NBA has put out an APB to all of the country's major grocery chains with a picture of Williams and a direct order to not sell the unruly criminal eggs or toilet paper.
