Dash Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Dallas Mavericks shooting guard DeShawn Stevenson was arrested for public intoxication in Irving, Texas, on Tuesday night, two days after the franchise won its first NBA championship. Irving police were called to the Grand Venetian apartment complex at about 10:30 p.m. CT after receiving a call to report an intoxicated person walking in the area. Officers reported that Stevenson, who does not live at the complex, appeared intoxicated and did not know where he was. He was arrested without incident on the Class C misdemeanor charge based on the results of a sobriety test, officer's observations and his statements. [+] EnlargeDeShawn StevensonIrving Police DepartmentDeShawn Stevenson "They felt he was a danger to himself and others," Irving public information officer John Argumaniz said. "Basically, he was intoxicated to a point where he didn't feel comfortable letting him walk away or leave. They didn't have any other options at that point." Stevenson was released on $475 bond at 5:30 a.m. Wednesday. The Mavericks said they were not aware of the incident and declined comment. The arrest was first reported by NBC Dallas-Fort Worth. Stevenson, who will be a free agent on July 1, is a rugged role player praised by teammates and coaches for his professionalism after bouncing in and out of the starting lineup all season. Stevenson started throughout the playoffs until coach Rick Carlisle opted to replace him with J.J. Barea in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Stevenson still played a key role in the series, averaging 7.0 points in 17.2 minutes while making 13-of-23 attempts from 3-point range and playing excellent defense on Miami superstars Dwyane Wade and LeBron James. Stevenson drew attention during the Finals for making critical comments about James, whom he has feuded since they battled in Washington Wizards-Cleveland Cavaliers playoff series from 2006-2008. Stevenson called the Heat "classless" after the Mavericks clinched the title. http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nba/news/story?id=6664021 Only took him 3 days.

Erick Blasco Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I thought Marion would be arrested for public urination since he took a piss all over LeBron's defense the entire series. Zing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erick Blasco Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I love how EVERYBODY has forgotten what a damned fool he was during those Cavs-Wizards series'. Didn't he taunt the Cavs bench after hitting a three late in the fourth quarter---with his team down 25. I wonder how quickly people will forget LeBron's recent character failures should he win a championship... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
