O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | This guy is such a damn thug. Hes been surrounded by people who do nothing but help him, like Larry Brown, and he still finds a way to get himself in trouble. NBA Star Iverson to Face Charges Thu Jul 11, 4:44 PM ET By MICHAEL RUBINKAM, Associated Press Writer PHILADELPHIA (AP) - NBA All-Star Allen Iverson will be charged with forcing his way into a cousin's apartment with a gun and threatening two men while looking for his wife, authorities said Thursday. The announcement came the same day police searched his suburban mansion and his uncle's home, looking for the gun Iverson was accused of carrying the night he showed up at the apartment. Iverson will be charged with criminal trespass, simple assault, terroristic threats and gun offenses, District Attorney Lynne Abraham said. Four of the counts are felonies. "I don't expect Mr. Iverson will be treated any different than anyone else," she said. Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson said he will arrange with Iverson's lawyer for the Philadelphia 76ers' guard to surrender. Johnson said that could happen as early as Thursday night. "We had two complaints we felt were credible. Detectives did a very thorough, complete and professional investigation," Johnson said. Iverson's uncle, Gregory Iverson, was accused of accompanying Iverson to the apartment. He also was charged with criminal trespass, simple assault, terroristic threats and other offenses. Iverson, a former league MVP, was accused of going to the Cobbs Creek Court apartment complex early on July 3 to look for wife Tawanna and cousin Shaun Bowman, who lives there. Neither was there, said Charles Jones, who has lived in the apartment since March. Jones, who met with police Tuesday, told reporters Iverson had a gun when he forced his way inside the apartment and threatened Jones and another man. Police said Iverson has no gun permit, nor does he have a gun registered in Pennsylvania. Iverson and his wife had been involved in a fight that spanned two days. At one point, Iverson threw her out of their mansion, according to tapes of a 911 call from Jones obtained by The Philadelphia Inquirer. Tawanna Iverson and another man had fled the home and were in hiding, according to the report. Iverson and his wife of 11 months have not commented publicly. Iverson's dazzling play has made him one of the most popular NBA players, and his Sixers jersey is the league's top seller. The charges in the gun case, however, are just his latest problems with the law. As a teenager, he was arrested in a Hampton, Va., bowling alley brawl in 1993 and spent four months in prison before then-Gov. Douglas Wilder granted clemency. The conviction was overturned on appeal in 1995. In 1997, Iverson pleaded no contest to a gun charge after police near Richmond, Va., stopped a car in which he was a passenger and found a gun belonging to Iverson and two marijuana cigarettes. A marijuana-possession charge was dropped. Iverson completed 100 hours of community service, two years of drug testing and three years' probation, after which his record was expunged.

As for the whole AI thing, the media around here is making too big of a deal about it. I live 2 streets away from where Iverson's house is and the media have effectively blockaded 3 streets inorder to get their "round the clock" coverage of iverson's house. Another funny thing about the media coverage is that all of the Philly news stations are doing a "bit" where they ask citizens of Philly what they think of the case against him. Of course all of the old white guys say something around "lock him up and throw away the key" and the black dudes say "its a racial injustice". I dont know what to think of everything as of now. | ||||

Psychopath Registered: Aug. 01 | I would say there is less than a 50% chance this case will even go to trial. There is no way to put Iverson and the gun in the same place. His cousin isn't pressing charges, and the guy who is waited 10 hours to call the cops. Iverson has some hot shit lawyer who will absolutely blow the only witness out of the water. The gun is the only issue. Allen didn't kick down any doors, hit anybody, or damage any property. Only Allen, his uncle, and that dude who called the cops know what happened. The felony charges will not stick and he will probably plead to one or two misdemeanors. Those who hate Allen will use this case to prove thier points as to what a "thug" or "punk" he is. There are worse criminals in the NBA than AI. What he did was wrong, and he needs to stay out of trouble, but it's not going to amount to anything. I love the guy, he's my favorite athlete out of all the major sports. The city of Philadelphia, for the most part, loves the guy and will continue to support him. This guy gives everything he has on the court. He speaks his mind in interviews, he's truthful (sometimes to his detriment) with the media and the fans. Most athletes don't give half as much as Allen does to the team and the fanbase. quote: I don't think Allen really hangs out too much with Larry Brown. It seems to me that the people he hangs out with are the ones who do get him into trouble. The three times Allen has been in legal trouble he was always with someone else. I don't think he should forget his friends, he just needs to use better judgement. "Somebody took my phone number and called Afghanistan. Afghanistan! I've never talked to anyone in Afghanistan, I don't know nobody in Afghanistan, and even if did know anyone, I wouldn't talk to that Afghan ass for three hours! I won't talk to my daddy for three hours." | ||||
