• Mary Delgado arrested in Texas after attacking a police car

Former Bachelor contestant and Tampa Bay Buccaneers cheerleader Mary Delgado has been arrested again, this time for public intoxication, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. You might remember Delgado was arrested last year after she punched ‘Bachelor’ Byron Velvick in the face.. After he picked her.

Alcohol was involved in her first arrest and once again the fire water has landed Ms. Delgado behind bars.

From TMZ.com:

We’re told the Cantina called the cops because Delgado refused to leave the bar, saying it was her “constitutional right” to stay as long as she wanted.

Cops told us Mary became “loud and belligerent” while being transported to jail, and kicked the radio inside the squad car (which didn’t have the usual backseat perp cage).

I’d hate to see what would happen if Mary Delgado and John Daly got drunk at the same bar. The funniest part of the story is that Byron Velvick bailed her out. I guess he had to if he didn’t want to get his ass kicked again.

• Former New York Jets cornerback Kwame Ellis in a Reynosa, Mexico jail

Remember NFL cornerback Kwame Ellis? Don’t worry, nobody else does either. That was most likely Ellis’ problem in Reynosa, Mexico early Monday morning when he got in an argument with a taxi driver over the bill. By argument I mean Kwame Ellis didn’t want to pay at all.

From KGBT4.com:

The taxi driver reportedly told police that drove Ellis around the Mexican border city for several hours but the former football player stiffed him when it came time to pay.

The 320 peso or $26 dollar cab ride reportedly started late Sunday night and went through early Monday morning.

Reynosa city police arrested Ellis for theft of service and a Mexican judge ordered that the 34-year-old be held in a Reynosa jail for 36 hours.

Kwame Ellis didn’t pay for the cab and got a free room. Sounds like he came out ahead. The cabbie was driving Ellis around the “Boy’s Town” section of Reynosa, an area where prostitution is legal. I guess that’s why Kwame thought he could screw the cab driver out of the 26 bucks.

Notre Dame sophomore tight end Will Yeatman and freshman center Mike Golic Jr. were two of the 41 people arrested at a South Bend, Indiana home early Sunday on misdemeanor alcohol charges. Yeatman and Golic partied with members of the Notre Dame soccer and lacrosse teams, probably in an attempt to drink away the Irish’s loss to Michigan St.

From FoxSports.com:

Police made the arrests after Notre Dame returned to South Bend following a 23-7 loss Saturday at Michigan State. St. Joseph County Police spokesman Sgt. Bill Redman said police were targeting businesses that reportedly had sold to minors when they received a report about the party.

Those arrested were taken to the St. Joseph County Jail. Neither Yeatman nor Golic, whose father, Mike Golic, co-hosts “Mike & Mike in the Morning” remained in the jail Sunday evening.

Damn.. Somebody’s snitching on the Irish. This could mean big trouble for Will Yeatman. He was arrested in January for driving drunk on a campus sidewalk, but was cut some leniency contingent upon Yeatman staying out of trouble for a year. He made it eight months. I hope he receives credit for getting close. As for Golic Jr., you would think his father would have schooled him on staying out of trouble. I’m interested to see how “Mike and Mike in the Morning” cover this story.

A former assistant high school football coach was arrested Saturday morning and charged with suspicion of burglary, vandalism and attempted arson after being caught driving on the lawn of his former employer. Brian Butcher was laid off from his receivers and defensive backs coaching position on the freshman-sophomore team by Los Gatos High School a year ago, but he hasn’t gotten over it yet.

From the SF Gate:

Brian Butcher, 34, of Saratoga was arrested about 1 a.m. Saturday after police responded to an alarm at the school.

Officers found that the glass door to the gym had been smashed by a shot put. They also found Butcher driving a vehicle on the front lawn of the campus, police said.

Butcher had flammable materials in his possession.

Butcher did not appear to be intoxicated but was angry that the school let him go a year ago, Rimple said.

The most shocking part of this story is the fact that Butcher wasn’t drunk. Maybe he wasn’t drinking but he had to be on something if he’s throwing a shot put through a door and driving on the school lawn. Butcher probably shouldn’t put down Los Gatos High School as a reference on future job applications.

The Hearts of Gold Cantaloupe Festival & Fair took place this past weekend in Fallon, Nevada for the 23rd and most memorable time. I think the festival is really a big carnival dedicated to cantaloupes, but I could be wrong. It had rides, animals, and food and Friday featured Fight Night.

The Cantaloupe Festival had two fights on their Friday Fight Night card. Some residents of Carson City added a third fight and mini riot.

From the Lahontan Valley News:

Twyla Murphy, 30, pulled the hair of a woman from Gardnerville before knocking her to the ground. When deputies tried to break up the fight, Darwin Hicks, 31, who lives with Murphy, punched the Gardnerville woman and a man attempting to stop the altercation.

As CCSO deputies attempted to arrest Murphy and Hicks, the two exited the fairgrounds but not before Murphy allegedly elbowed and pushed an officer.

Murphy was arrested for misdemeanor battery, two counts of battery on a peace officer and physically resisting/obstructing/delaying. Hicks was arrested for two counts of misdemeanor battery and physically resisting/obstructing/delaying.

I hate to judge a book by its title but Twyla Murphy and Darwin Hicks? Is there any way they weren’t gonna be involved in something like this? They were doomed from birth.

Looks like the promoters knew something special was gonna happen at Fight Night.

Former NBA player Vincent Askew is locked up as the result of a May sexual encounter with a 16-year-old girl. The menace to virginity claimed to be a high school recruiter to lure the young lady to his hotel.

CBS4.com has the details of Askew’s arrest:

He is now sitting in the county jail charged with three counts of sexual battery on a 16-year-old. The consensual sex allegedly took place in May at a Ramada hotel down the street from Dadeland Mall.

He allegedly told the victim that he was recruiting for Gulliver Prep girls’ basketball team. She did not attend the school.

CBS4′s David Sutta spoke with Gulliver staff, and they told him he supervised the pool at the middle school for a month. They were considering hiring him as a coach.

The fact that it was consensual sex doesn’t and shouldn’t matter. Askew’s 42 years old. Vince wasn’t much of a player, but he should be able to pull legal aged women that he doesn’t have to entice with hopes of a spot on the high school basketball team. I guess it’s not all Askew’s fault. There’s obviously something in the Florida water that makes athletes chase under aged girls.

A member of the Louisiana-Monroe women’s basketball team has been expelled from the school for firing a handgun on campus. Sophomore Regena Jackson, the fourth leading scorer for the Warhawks this past season, was involved in a fight that led to her grabbing a 9mm.

The police report notes an interesting twist.

According to the police report, the fight started when Jackson had an argument with her girlfriend and shoved her into a wall.

When the girlfriend left, Jackson fired one shot toward the bayou, the report stated. The girlfriend returned, and the argument continued.

Police say Jackson entered the girlfriend’s dorm room at ULM’s Bayou Village Apartments with five others present. With the gun in hand, she ordered the others out of the room. The dorm resident assistant, who had arrived earlier, told police Jackson was carrying the gun under her shirt in the back waist area. The R.A. told police Jackson grabbed the weapon from her waist and advised him to leave.

Apparently Regena Jackson doesn’t approve of her girlfriends sitting in a room with more than three other people.. And she can’t stand R.A.s. A women’s basketball brawl last week, and now a female baller is going Stephen Jackson-Lonnie Baxter in the dorms. If the women add more dunking and a few seven kids from six different men stories to their resume they’ll be just as popular as their male counterparts.

Former NFL player Kenyatta Jones is having a year to forget. First, he was arrested in March for battery on a law enforcement officer. Jones was being escorted by security from a nightclub for attempting to piss on the dance floor when he shoved an officer into a wall and was eventually tasered. Jones, who is now a member of the Tampa Bay Storm in the Arena Football League, can add a drug arrest to his resume sheet.

Police conducted a drug sweep in the Tampa Bay area and Kenyatta Jones got caught in the net.
From the St. Petersburg Times:

Among those charged was Tampa Bay Storm offensive lineman Kenyatta Jones, 29, who detectives monitored arranging a drug buy from a dealer, a Tampa police spokeswoman said.

Laura McElroy said officers overheard him arranging to buy from one of the dealers, then watched him as he purchased less than a gram of cocaine and less than a gram of marijuana.

Police admit that Kenyatta Jones isn’t a major part of the investigation that caught 40 people and expects to bring in 30 more. The Tampa Bay Storm haven’t kicked Jones off the team, but spokesman Jim Robinson doesn’t sound like he’s expecting him back.

Translation: Kenyatta was already on thin ice and now we’re talking with our lawyers to figure out the easiest way to dump his ass.

Charles Johnson Sr., father of former MLB catcher Charles Johnson, was arrested Tuesday on charges of lewd and lascivious molestation. CJ Senior is a math teacher and baseball coach at Fort Pierce Westwood High School where he has been accused of molesting two female students. Johnson maintains his innocence but the school placed him on reassignment away from students while the authorities investigate the claims. From the TCPalm:

The girl said the incident occurred on May 5, when she skipped her regular first-period class to be in Johnson’s classroom, according to the reports.

“Don’t tell your momma,” Johnson said after he touched her, according to the reports. “I’m only playin’.”

Two days later, the girl claims, Johnson grabbed her breasts from behind and lifted her off the ground to demonstrate how strong he is. Another 15-year-old female student witnessed that incident, according to the reports.

Let’s hope that this is a case of some teenage girls with active imaginations and an axe to grind with the math teacher.. If not, “Don’t tell your mama” and “I’m only playin’” are gonna be the favorite words of Charles Johnson Sr.’s cellmate.

Getting a ticket sucks. Dealing with the po-po, the time wasted, having to go to court and cough up money, all of it, it’s bullshit.. Especially when the cops set up traffic stings. But however you got the ticket, take it like a man. Don’t go out like Houston Texans offensive lineman Chester Pitts:

At about 5 p.m., an officer saw Pitts make an illegal turn in his 2002 BMW, flagged him over, and told him why he was being stopped. The officer then walks off for a few minutes to finish issuing a citation to another vehicle and observes Pitts leave.

The driving off resulted in the police giving a brief chase, and pulling Pitts over about a mile away. He was arrested, charged with felony evading, and taken to jail. I’m not sure what kind of points felony evading puts on your license, but I’m sure the damage is gonna be a lot worse than a simple illegal turn ticket.. And all of that to avoid 8 hours of traffic school? I don’t think so. I guarantee Chester Pitts was thinking about fellow Texans O-lineman Fred Weary. It was about a year ago that Weary got tasered by the Houston PD during a traffic stop. Fred Weary is currently suing the city of Houston and the officers involved.
