LOL! I was just about to post this.... I mean look at this garbage from the Jazz front office! ------------------------------------ SALT LAKE CITY -- Utah Jazz center Olden Polynice has been charged with impersonating a police officer and disorderly conduct stemming from a traffic dispute last month. Olden Polynice, a 7-footer, can be an imposing figure, even without a police badge to help. West Valley (Utah) prosecutor John Huber said Friday that Polynice chased another motorist Oct. 28. Polynice told authorities he had been cut off in traffic. The player, who police say flashed a badge at the motorist, refused comment as he left the Delta Center after a shootaround Friday morning. But Jazz president Dennis Haslam defended Polynice. "Polynice's version of the incident affirms that he did nothing wrong and he is confident that this will be resolved shortly. "I don't see this as a big deal. Frankly, I look at Olden as probably a victim. That we are to think he tried to impersonate himself as a police officer is pretty silly." Haslam explained the badge flashing allegation by saying, "Olden identified himself as a member of the Utah Jazz, and pulled out his wallet, as I understand it, to say 'I'm Olden Polynice of the Jazz."' ------------------------------------ Oh TOO MUCH! Yeah... I'm sure that's what Polynice was doing. "PULL OVER! PULL OVER! I am WITH THE UTAH JAZZ! PULL OVER!" ------------------ NOTHING BUT .NET CLUTCHCITY.NET [This message has been edited by Clutch (edited November 10, 2000).]
I'm not quite sure I buy the motorists story, but it is quite funny. ------------------ Only in America....do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.
I'm no fan of Polynice, but impersonating a Police officer is a felony. None too funny, believe me. ------------------ "I have a DREAM.........his name's Hakeem." DREAMer's Rocket Page
Maybe Olden was pulling out his Polynice badge. I'm sure it's all a big misunderstanding. ------------------ Nederland 2002 Rockets crush Bucks. Read The Cat's latest game recap.

Apparently, this is NOT the first time this may have happened in Salt Lake. A local fishwrap reported a similar police report, written several months ago, involving THE SAME CAR!!! Life does not get much better for me than it is right now.... ------------------ Jazzkiller
