When Olympians come home with a medal they’re usually treated like royalty and make some sort of appearances to show off their prizes. Beijing Olympic silver medalist Kim Willoughby of the U.S. women’s volleyball team is trying to make prison the next place she shows her award.

From the Star Bulletin:

Kim Willoughby, former University of Hawaii All-American volleyball player and a member of the silver-medal-winning U.S. women’s volleyball team at the Beijing Olympics, is scheduled to appear in Circuit Court on Monday to be arraigned on a charge of first-degree assault.

An Oahu grand jury returned an indictment on Sept. 18 charging her with the crime. However, the court kept the document under seal.

Because the indictment was not publicly available, it is not known whom Willoughby, 27, allegedly assaulted and when. She has already posted $50,000 bail.

Good thing the medal is attached to the ribbon, sorta like soap-on-a-rope.To make matters worse this isn’t the first time Kim Willoughby has been charged with first-degree assault. According to court documents she was involved in a similar incident in June 2007. If the US women’s Olympic volleyball team had brought home the gold I could see Willoughby beating the rap. With a silver medal and her history of violence, Kim’s looking at some time in jail.

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.

The soon to be Mrs. Tony Parker took some time out from her busy Spurs supporting schedule to play volleyball for charity. Thank God for her philanthropy…And cameras. Some of the pics could be considered NSFW… Let’s jump.

I completely and totally without question jacked these pics from I Don’t Like You In That Way
