Fresh off the heels of winning the 2011 NBA Championship against the Miami Heat, Dallas Mavs forward, Deshawn Stevenson, was arrested last night on charges of public intoxication.
According to ESPN Dallas:
Irving police were called to the Grand Venetian apartment complex at about 10:30 p.m. CT after receiving a call to report an intoxicated person walking in the area. Officers reported that Stevenson, who does not live at the complex, appeared intoxicated and did not know where he was.
He was arrested without incident on the Class C misdemeanor charge based on the results of a sobriety test, officer’s observations and his statements.
“They felt he was a danger to himself and others,” Irving public information officer John Argumaniz said. “Basically, he was intoxicated to a point where he didn’t feel comfortable letting him walk away or leave. They didn’t have any other options at that point.”
Stevenson was released on $475 bond at 5:30 a.m. Wednesday. The Mavericks said they were not aware of the incident and declined comment.
C’mon Deshawn, we gotta do better! Can’t be overdoing the celebrations until the Dallas Mavs parade tomorrow! LOL
