link SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- An assistant coach with the Sacramento Kings has been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving. The California Highway Patrol says 47-year-old Mario Elie was taken into custody at 1:15 a.m. Thursday in downtown Sacramento after an officer pulled him over for a broken taillight. The officer reported smelling alcohol in the car and said Elie showed signs of being intoxicated. The CHP says a breath test showed the first-year Kings coach had a blood-alcohol level above the legal limit of 0.08 percent. Elie was booked into Sacramento County Jail and released after posting bail. A message left for Elie through the Kings was not immediately returned.
Why do I have a hard time believing Elie was driving a car with a broken taillight? And, damn, he's already 47? I still remember him leaving messages on my ex-girlfriend's answering machine back in 97-98. Time flies.
Too bad you don't have search. I've talked about this several times over the past 11 years. I even found this gem from back when I had my old moniker and was still married. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?p=21116&highlight=elie#post21116
