Eddie Johnson (NOT the former Rocket) charged with assaulting 8-year-old girl

That's not our Eddie Johnson!

 

HOLY COW... Eddie is 51 years old? Is that right? Was he really 40 or 41 when he played for us?

Edit: Just saw tinman's post... Glad to see that the real Fast Eddie has been keeping his hands to himself...

Edit Edit: lol, I see you even mentioned it in the last line of your post nWo...

 

This isn't former Houston Rocket Eddie Johnson. Our Eddie Johnson never made an All-Star team and played until 1999. I believe he is the all-time leading scorer for players hwo never made an All-Star team, amassing 19,202 points over his career, as opposed to 10,163 for this imposter Eddie Johnson.

In before the lock...

God only hopes our EJ doesn't frequent this site, Imagine seeing that label attributed to you.

NWO4life would be a dead man.

 

I was about to post it on GARM but I had to make sure that it was ours. Thank God when they started mentioning the teams this imposter played for, it wasn't Houston!

 

Eddie Johnson accused of child molesting

Link to Article

OCALA, Fla. (AP) -- Former NBA All-Star Eddie Johnson has been arrested and charged with sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl, authorities said Tuesday night.

Johnson, 51, was charged Tuesday with sexual battery on a child under the age of 12 and residential burglary for entering the apartment where the girl was staying while her mother was out, said Sgt. Russ Kern of the Ocala police department.

Johnson was being held without bond at the Marion County jail. It was not immediately known if he was represented by an attorney.

The girl and her three brothers were staying in the apartment while their mother registered them at school, according to a police report. Johnson walked into the apartment uninvited and told the girl's 6-year-old brother to lock the door, police said.

The girl told detectives Johnson ordered her into a bedroom, where he sexually assaulted her, according to the police report. He then told her "not to tell anyone about what just happened," and tried to kiss her in the kitchen before leaving the apartment, the report stated.

She told her mother about the alleged assault when the woman returned to the apartment, police said. The girl's mother told detectives she knew Johnson from the neighborhood, but he had never had permission to be in her home.

Johnson was arrested in a field near the apartment building. He told detectives he had been in the apartment with the children, who were jumping on the bed.

He also told detectives he kissed the girl on the head, which he does all the neighborhood children "as a friendly gesture," according to the police report.

Since 1989, online Marion County court records show Johnson has had numerous convictions: burglary, battery, robbery, mar1juana possession, possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest, along with a charge last month of battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting or obstructing an officer without violence, the Ocala Star-Banner reported for Wednesday's editions.

Johnson, a 6-foot-2 guard from Auburn University, played in the NBA from 1977-1987 with the Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Seattle SuperSonics. He represented the Hawks in the 1980 and 1981 NBA All-Star games and scored 10,163 points in his career.

 

Not this again...

Wrong forum... this EJ never played for the Rockets

 

Yeah...ours wasn't an all-star either...

(but he did hit a really nice shot once)

 

Funny this link has this picture.

 

It would suck to be the Eddie Johnson who played for Houston. Most fans probably think of him when they read the title of the article.

That's what you get for having a widely shared name. Now if he were named "LaMarcus" or something it would avoid all kinds of trouble.

 

Looks like the folks at NBC have a case of mistaken identity. I should have caught that though. Sorry about the douple post I looked in the rockets forum because I thought it was a rockets article.

Please Lock.

 

Lock this up, this is NOT the same guy.

Not our Eddie.....LOCK PLEASE.
