and I aint talkin the Duracell kind.

If he gets sentenced to jail time I am officially giving up on Houston sports.

And when did this happen?!

HOUSTON - Houston Rockets guard Kyle Lowry has been charged with one count of misdemeanor battery by the Clark County District Attorney's office in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Las Vegas Justice Court issued a summons for Lowry to appear before it on Feb 2.

If convicted, Lowry faces up to six months in the Clark County Detention Center and/or a fine of not more than $1,000.

"We have confirmed a criminal complaint charging Kyle Lowry with one count of misdemeanor battery has been filed with the Las Vegas Justice Court," said Tess Driver, DA's office spokeswoman, in an interview with FOX 26 Sports.

According to the charges, the allegations stem from a basketball game Lowry was playing in between NBA players on Sept. 22, 2011 in Las Vegas.

The female victim, Infini Robinson, was one of the referees in the game.

The declaration of warrant/summons said, "At the end of the game, Lowry approached the victim and threw a basketball at her striking her in her torso. The victim picked up the basketball and tossed it back at Lowry. Lowry became upset and stated, 'B****, meet me outside. I will kick you’re a**'."

The warrant goes on to allege that after Lowry walked away, Robinson went to the designated area for officials to change shoes and clothing, and she was hit with a basketball at a high rate of speed.

Also according to the warrant, Charlotte Bobcats forward Corey Maggette apologized to Robinson on behalf of Lowry and that Lowry also approached Robinson and said, "I'm sorry. I truly apologize for what I did. I let my emotions get the best of me."

The warrant also said the two other referees involved in the game, Bobby McRoy and Herb Rafuse, confirmed what happened and identified Lowry as the suspect.

According to the warrant, McRoy told investigators, "Lowry was abusive with him as well and believes that he has an anger problem. He said during the game Lowry was verbally combative and confrontational to the victim leading up to the incident where he battered her twice with basketballs."

Deborah Ruiz, an investigator with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, writes, "in that the victim was acting in the capacity of a referee during the game, she is considered a protected person. The suspect knowingly threw a basketball at her after the game ended for calls he didn't agree with. The victim and both witnesses believe that his intent was to hurt her and that he could have hurt anyone of them by his actions."

His anger is what makes him effective, he apologized, but should still face the penalty.

No excuses.

Not good but had he really been trying to hurt her he would not have hit her in the torso with a basketball. Still, I was rasied not to hit a woman. And he certainly should not have done it regardless of gender. But do I think this warrents waisting tax payer dollars. No. Much worse happens at courts every single day with out anyone filling charges.
