Glen Rice Jr. Shot In Leg, Arrested For Weed Possession

Oof. Man.

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.

EG may have wasted a pick, but I'm glad he and the team parted ways with Rice before this happened. Wizards don't need more of this crap. Good thing Rice wasn't more seriously injured. Maybe this will be a wake up call for him. Get yer **** together!

What's this I'm hearing about Glen Rice Jr?

Not!

I second montestewart word for word.

Rice is lucky because whoever shot him could have easily killed him had they intended to. Reads like he begged to get hurt. If this doesn't wake him up Nothing will.

Revisit every single word of protest I posted about that kid. Gunplay, his car, kicked off GA Tech with coach actively and vocally against him; and most of all this dumbass (IMO) hates his dad, too???

He should at least appreciate NBA DNA, but no. He wants to be a bad ass.

Dumbass.

To be fair CCJ, if he was still with the Wizards he could smoke weed legally in DC (that's the new law right monte?)

Maybe he can sign with the Denver Nuggets. During timeouts he can use the T shirt launcher to launch bags of weed into the crowd. DeM HaZy DaYz BoYz

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

Why do Cops even respond to anything Marijuana related just a waste of time for them unless violence is included with it.

What a waste of taxmoney, could be used on more important things.

Hidden Eye, do you reckon if dude had just left peacefully, not been fighting, not been videotaped tossing HIS gun, and not got himself SHOT; perhaps the cops wouldn't have arrested him???

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!

I'm glad they specified that his gun was a black revolver. GR Jr. -- cowboy extraordinaire and bud toker. He needs to move out west.

He was nothing special. There are hundreds of guys in that 6-6 to 6-7 mold that are similar to him as a player. Throw in all the off the court stuff and nobody should take a chance on him. At least not us. Shame he couldn't keep his head and the lack of a relationship with his father didn't help. Dad was 100x the player he is.

Given that Rice is going to be okay, we can recycle all of the Arenas-related gun jokes without feeling guilty.

Even though most of the damning facts seem to be out, and Rice is no longer with the team, EG should still snitch on him.

Yeah violence was involved but anything with weed no.. a lot of people are in jail for just for weed.. waste of taxmoney.

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.

240 grams is probably more weight than is legal. That's like a half pound.

(I'm a scientist, I know these things).

He could be charged with distribution. Shame. Shouldn't really be that serious a crime.
But it is and now he's in the biggest trouble of his young life.

It's also true that prosecutors will aggressively charge to the limit in order to induce the
person to cop a plea (to a lessor charge). If violence is involved, authorities are less likely
to plea bargain down the charges.
