Former NFL player Tebucky Jones was involved in an altercation over the weekend in the lobby of the Mohegan Sun casino. Jones was arrested and charged with breach of peace, third-degree assault, and fourth-degree sexual assault after groping a woman and then fighting her boyfriend.

Melissa Rodriguez, the target of Tebucky Jones’ bump and run, doesn’t want Tebucky’s star status to get him out of the situation.

“I just don’t want him to get away with it. It’s just not right.”

“I don’t know what gave him the right to think he could not only grab me, but then physically assault my boyfriend just for defending me.”

Rodriguez said she, her boyfriend, and friends had just left the Ultra 88 dance club at the casino about 1 a.m. Friday when, she said, Jones walked by and groped her.

If the case is decided by “star status” Tebucky Jones is headed to jail. Based on what I’ve read he’ll probably get a fine. Since casinos have cameras everywhere I can’t wait for the video of Tebucky grabbing the woman’s ass then getting punched in the face to make the internet.

OK.. I’ll admit it.. The title’s a little misleading but forgive me.. I’m a blogger. It’s true, Brett Favre was arrested but it’s not Brett Favre Brett Favre. It’s some guy named Stephen Brett Favre and he’s a 14-year-veteran of the U.S. prison system, not the NFL.

Stephen Brett Favre was released from prison on Tuesday, and four hours later he was right back in jail after being picked up for larceny and obstruction of justice. I don’t know this to be true, but rumor has it that SBF took Paul Aaron Rodgers bunk when he got back to the can.

The story caught my eye because of “Brett Favre”, but it got even better when I read that the Fredericksburg Police Department’s mouthpiece was named Bledsoe.. Natatia Bledsoe to be exact. You’re right, that’s a woman’s name, and I’m sure there are plenty of Cowboys’ fans that think that’s fitting.

Former NBA player Benoit Benjamin was arrested and charged with simple battery and resisting arrest following a domestic disturbance at his house Sunday afternoon. When police arrived at the scene they found a woman with visible swelling on her forehead, and a pissed off Benjamin.

According to the arrest report, when the officer tried to make contact, Benjamin attempted to walk into the front door of the house.
Police say that when Benjamin was ordered to stop, he used obscenity and said, “This is my house.”

Told that he was under arrest, Benjamin allegedly said, “No I’m not.”

Despite Benoit thinking he wasn’t under arrest the police took the former Supersonic, Laker, Net, Grizzly, Buck, Raptor, 76er, and Cavalier to the Ouachita Correctional Center where he was released on $4,000 bond.. Just in time to be honored on Tuesday by the city of Monroe, Louisiana.

The downward spiral continues for former NBA player Isaiah Rider. He was once an explosive force in the league, but his f*** the world attitude ended up costing him his career. Now, the player formerly known as J.R., fresh off a seven month bid for kidnapping a woman is in trouble with the law again. From KTLA.com:

Isaiah Rider allegedly rolled a car through a stop sign at 2:30 a.m., and after being stopped by police, the 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo he was driving turned out to be stolen, police said.

He was jailed at the Twin Towers county jail and a $25,000 bail was set on a charge of grand theft auto.

On the court, Rider was the Ricky Davis of his day. Off of the court, he was Ricky Davis on steroids. I’d like to say that this will be the last time Isaiah finds himself in trouble, that he’ll learn his lesson, but his track record says this is the way it will always be.

The NFL has crowned two different Super Bowl champions since the Steelers defeated the Seahawks in Super Bowl XL but the city of Seattle still hasn’t recovered. The Hawks’ fans are pissed about the suspicious calls by the refs and the terrible play of Jerramy Stevens. Knowing this, it’s probably not a good idea to wear Steelers gear and taunt a Seattle Seahawks fan that is also cooking your food.

That’s where a 37-year-old Kitsap, Washington man went wrong. He was warned about trash talking the cook but proceeded anyways. He probably thought he got the last word in until he opened his hamburger container and found a loogie. The man immediately told his daughter to stop eating, demanded a refund, and called the restaurant’s district manager. The police were called into the situation and learned that a 24-year-old restaurant employee was the culprit.

The deputy went to the 24-year-old’s house, and when he knocked on the door, a voice from inside yelled that he “wasn’t buying any … girl scout cookies.”.

The deputy told him, “I won’t sell you any,” and when the man opened the door, the deputy “was immediately confronted with the strong odor of burnt marijuana.”

Eventually, the man brought the deputy a bag of marijuana and he was arrested. The man also confessed to spitting in the 37-year-old’s hamburger container to “gross him out … because he was a Steelers fan.

The cook was arrested for fourth-degree assault and possession of marijuana. He was booked into the Kitsap County jail then released. Pretty bad day for that dude. He got clowned by a Steelers fan while flipping burgers at a fast food joint, arrested, and the cops took his stash. Mix in the fact that he lives in the Seattle area, I’d say we’re pretty close to suicide watch.

A lot of attention is given to the off the field problems of athletes. Not enough attention is given to the men and women leading the athletes. I’m not skilled in mathematics but I bet if you broke down the ratio, you’d see that more coaches find themselves in trouble with the law than players. I did a quick google news search and was able to come up with five coaches that have been in trouble the last few days.

*A Delaware man serving as a tumbling coach has been charged with eight counts of sex offenses against three young girls.

*A former Toronto jail guard and soccer coach plead guilty to possession and distribution of child pornography. He allegedly persuaded a woman to sexually abuse her grandchild online.

*A former Creighton University softball coach plead guilty in federal court to receiving and possessing child pornography.

*An assistant football coach in New York was charged with faking a burglary to hide the fact he stole money earned from a fundraiser.

*A former NHLer and current assistant coach in London charged with impaired driving.

It doesn’t matter what sport, what gender, or what country they’re in, coaches are outta control. Is this because they’re young, rich, and hanging out all hours of the night? Probably not. They’re just idiots like anyone else doing dumb shit and getting arrested.

The two lovely young ladies in the picture above are Patty Paniagua (L) and Katrina Johnson (R), and they’re student-athletes at Arizona Western College. Paniagua is a former All-American volleyball player for the school, and Johnson’s a redshirt sophomore basketball player. Apparently, when they’re not studying or playing ball the girls are kicking up dust. Patty and Katrina spent Monday night in jail after being hit with charges that were “misdemeanor in nature”. From the Yuma Sun:

The arrests were the result of a series of assaults that occurred on campus at the AWC residence halls on Monday evening involving the two student-athletes, as well as several other students. One female student was taken to Yuma Regional Medical Center for treatment of bumps and bruises, while another declined any further treatment from paramedics the night of the attacks.

What’s up with the outbreak of hot, violent, female athletes? It looks like Patty and Katrina are the new Thelma and Louise… And the story gets better. During Arizona Western College’s internal investigation into the ruckus it was learned that the school’s wide receivers coach, David Slaughter, was involved with one of the arrested ladies. He offered his resignation on Tuesday. I had never heard of AWC until this article, but if it’s going down like this on campus, I’m thinking of enrolling.

Jorge Reyes, a pitcher for Oregon St. and the Most Outstanding Player from last year’s College World Series, was arrested for firing bullets that hit a house and a car. Reyes, teammate John Wallace, and former teammate Anton Maxwell, were shooting soda cans with a rifle in Maxwell’s backyard, obviously unaware that bullets can penetrate things like fences. The stray shots were too close for comfort for student Brian Bodtker.

One of seven students who lives in the house on the other side of the fence, said two of the bullets lodged in an outside wall but one went through his bedroom window. Three more bullets hit a car parked in front of the same window.

“One shot went through my bedroom window, ricocheted off the wall and landed on my bed,” Bodtker told the Gazette-Times.

I guess when you’re the College World Series Most Outstanding Player and you pitch for the two time defending champs, you think you’re above the law.. You think you’re bulletproof.. But you’re not and neither are your neighbors. Now trust me, I understand.. It’s college. People do dumb shit in college. So go flip over a car, pull the fire alarm in the dorms, anything.. Besides accidentally shooting the guy across the street.

While everybody in Arizona is gassed up about Shaq going to Phoenix, Cedric Ceballos is running on fumes. The former Los Angeles Laker and Phoenix Sun ran into trouble when he tried to use a bad credit card at a Blythe, California gas station.. He was presumably headed back to Phoenix.

Cedric Ceballos, a former Phoenix Suns player, and current employee, was arrested Sunday when police contacted him at a Blythe, CA gas station. Blythe police booked Ceballos, 39, into Riverside County Jail on a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department warrant for driving on a suspended license, police said.

Ceballos was released on $26,000 bail. I can’t wait for his next journal entry.
