Stackhouse allegedly grabbed woman during dispute Washington Wizards guard Jerry Stackhouse was arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault Sunday, ESPN has learned. The incident allegedly occurred in a dispute over a beach house, according to Sgt. Chris Fuller of the Atlantic Beach Police Department. Stackhouse, 28, apparently had rented a house in this coastal vacation community and believed he had the property until Monday. The real estate agent, an older woman, said he had to vacate the premises Sunday, Fuller said. The 6-foot-5 Stackhouse allegedly tried to grab the lease from the woman's hand and instead grabbed her. The woman felt threatened and went to the Magistrate's Office to obtain a warrant for Stackhouse's arrest on the misdemeanor assault charge, police said. After being contacted by police, Stackhouse turned himself in, accompanied by his attorney, Fuller said. He was taken to a jail in nearby Beaufort but no longer was being held when the shift changed at 7 p.m. ET, according to someone who answered the telephone at the jail. It is yet another case of an NBA player running afoul of the law in the offseason. In the last two weeks, superstar Kobe Bryant, Damon Stoudamire and Darrell Armstrong have been arrested for sexual assault, mar1juana possession and assaulting a female police officer, respectively. A two-time NBA All-Star, Stackhouse is a native of the Tar Heel State who played collegiately at North Carolina. He has played for Philadelphia, Detroit and Washington in an eight-year career, averaging 21.3 points and 3.7 rebounds in 582 games. Stackhouse was born about 70 miles from Atlantic Beach, in Kinston, N.C., and attended the University of North Carolina for two years before heading to the NBA. Stackhouse has averaged 21.3 points and 4.1 rebounds per game in 582 career games. Information from SportsTicker was used in this report. http://espn.go.com/nba/news/2003/0713/1580254.html
What is going on in the NBA now? He must have grabbed her hard for her to do this! I forgot to add one of these.
Apparantly, she was old. Just imagine Stack grabbing your grandma in forceful way. Still, it's not like he deserves jail time or anything, it's just that another NBA star has been arrested.
Yeah but the only thing is that he was trying to grab the lease. I'd be pissed, but it's not like in a fit of anger he grabbed old of an old lady. An accidental grabbing doesn't really make this guy the devil. I think it was stupid, and the publicty is really bad, and you are right that if it was my grandmother I'd be pissed. This lady was probably really scared having someone so huge and much more powerful than her lay a hand on her, so I see her side for sure. I just don't think this incident makes him a out of control monster or anything. But I don't know all the details. So this is just based on that article.
