According to police, former Washington Wizard Glen Rice Jr. was shot in the leg after getting into an argument at an Atlanta restaurant. After the shooting, he was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana after police say they found a bag containing 240 grams of weed and Rice Jr.’s passport near the scene.

The police report states that Rice Jr. and five or six other men were involved in an argument at Scales 925, a restaurant owned by rapper T.I. The men were asked to leave the restaurant by the staff, according to the report, at which point the argument continued in the parking lot and Rice Jr. got into a physical altercation with an unidentified man; the man Rice Jr. was fighting with eventually pulled out a gun and shot Rice Jr. in the leg before fleeing the scene in a black sedan.

The report also states that video surveillance caught Rice Jr. throwing a black revolver into a stairwell on the side of the restaurant before he left the scene; the gun was recovered, apparently, and may have been stolen from someone in Chattanooga, Tenn.

Yeah baby! But shooting a MFer is illegal, which is why it never happens here.



Under DC law, you have to be sitting in a crazy psychedelic stoner chair while smoking.

Seems this WASN'T about the weed.

My thought: Arrest him to keep him from trying to administer street justice, like Crittenton was TRYING TO DO when he shot that mother of four.

Simply put, let the fool think about this thing while he's in jail!

The notion that we are locking up a bunch of non-violent weed smokers is a myth. There are very few people incarcerated exclusively for drug offenses, and among those, most of them have a history of violent offenses and they likely plead down to just the drug offense.
