Yet another Atlanta Hawk arrested

If convicted, Plumlee will have violated the NBA’s marijuana program. Neither first (warning) nor second ($25,000 fine) violations are typically announced, so it’s unclear where Plumlee is on the progression. A third violation triggers a five-game suspension.

The bigger issue: Why is the NBA penalizing players for something that ranges from a petty offense to completely legal?

Marijuana charge against Miles Plumlee dismissed

A marijuana-possession charge against Miles Plumlee was dismissed recently, and the Hawks center faces no discipline by the NBA or the team.

Plumlee was arrested Aug. 20 in Shelter Island on New York’s Long Island. He was issued a field-appearance ticket for misdemeanor marijuana possession, with two other individuals, and posted a $100 cash bail.

The violation in New York is defined as public consumption of marijuana in any amount or possession of the substance between 25 grams and two ounces. It is considered a Class B misdemeanor and punishable by up to three months in jail.

Plumlee may have to do community service as part of the agreement to dismiss the charge.

Oh snap! I first opened this and thought it was recent. Was like "who the Fart is going to play center now!?!?" Not like it really matters much I guess, but still.

100 miles west he would have walked off with a ticket and no one would have known.

I went ahead and changed the thread title to eliminate confusion.

Hawks forward DeAndre Bembry arrested for driving 128 mph in a 55 mph zone

Atlanta Hawks forward DeAndre’ Bembry was arrested early Friday after police say they clocked him driving 128 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone.

According to Atlanta NBA affiliate WXIA-TV, Bembry, 23, was driving a purple Dodge Charger on Interstate 85 near Buford Highway just after midnight on Friday morning — and reportedly doing so 73 mph over the posted speed limit. When police caught up to him, they stopped him “without incident and arrested [him] on charges of reckless driving and speeding,” Atlanta police Officer Donald Hannah told the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

“We are aware of an incident involving DeAndre’ Bembry earlier this morning,” the Hawks said Friday morning in a team statement. “We are still gathering information as it pertains to the situation, and out of respect for the legal process, we will have no further comment at this time.”

Dennis Schröder reportedly recommended to be charged with felony

Up to this point, the incident was being treated as a misdemeanor, but after reviewing video footage of the night in question, prosecutors are recommending that the case be upgraded to a felony.

DeKalb Assistant Solicitor-General Tommy McNulty wrote a letter to DeKalb District Attorney Sherry Boston in late February to officially recommend the felony charges for all four men:

The case should be handled by your office as an Aggravated Battery because the defendants’ did maliciously cause bodily harm to the victim by depriving him of a member of his body or by seriously disfiguring his body or a member thereof, by causing serious damage to the victim’s knee and leg. The victim’s medical records (enclosed within) indicate that the victim suffered a torn meniscus and torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). These injuries require multiple surgeries and extensive rehabilitation. Here

He better be working on both of those solutions in parallel. Whatever gets him out of becoming a convicted felon.

The Summer of the Hawk! Player arrest - check

How do you not get arrested? They just say "You're drunk so be extra careful the rest of the way"?

[ATL Boy]

Driving while drunk is literally one of the stupidest things someone can do, especially with so many alternatives. It's really easy to order an Uber or a Lyft.

Can't even chalk this one up to being young. They teach you this in highschool at 16 before you get your license.
