Bucks' Robinson Arrested on Three Charges .c The Associated Press CHICAGO HEIGHTS, Ill. (July 21) -- Milwaukee Bucks star Glenn Robinson was arrested early Saturday and charged with domestic battery, assault and illegal possession of a firearm. Robinson remained in custody late Saturday waiting for a bond hearing Sunday morning, Chicago Heights Police Department Sgt. David Wierzbicki said. Robinson had a firearm when he was arrested, but did not have a valid Illinois Firearm Owner's Identification card, Wierzbicki said. Police would not release further details. A message left at the home of Bucks spokeswoman Cheri Hanson was not immediately returned Saturday night. Robinson, the former Purdue player, was the NBA's top draft pick in 1994 and signed a 10-year, $68 million contract with Milwaukee. He later signed a $12 million contract extension for the 2004-05 season. Before the 1999-00 season, Robinson was arrested outside a Miami nightclub on disorderly intoxication charges.
My theory: Robinson doesn't want to be traded so he torpedoed his trade value with a domestic abuse charge. Now, the Bucks can't get fair value for him and will be better off keeping him in town. Or, if they trade him anyway, his destination team won't have to pay as much for him.
I agree with TheReasonSF3 tht our athletes are going down hill this way! they need to behave and be good role models!
I know that what Robinson did was probably just as wrong as what Iverson did, but atleast Robinson said that he was sorry for his actions. I can atleast respect that he is man enough to admit that what he did was wrong.
