<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Former NBA player Ron Mercer surrendered to police on Wednesday to face a misdemeanor assault charge stemming from a scuffle in a strip club in April, police said. Mercer, 31, is a Nashville native who was waived by the New Jersey Nets in 2005 after missing more than 60 games due to injury. Police said Mercer's friend, 34-year-old Robert Edward Johnson, was also charged with felony aggravated assault for stabbing a bouncer at the club in the same incident. The pair got into a verbal argument with a dancer at Anthony's Show Place on April 21 and were asked to leave by the security guard, Keith Battle. A fight broke out among the three men and Johnson admitted to police that he stabbed the bouncer in the right side and shoulder with a knife. Battle was not seriously hurt. Another bouncer, William Beels Jr., was punched in the face by Mercer, police said. Mercer was released on $1,500 bond and Johnson was released on $5,000 bond. Both were scheduled to appear in court Aug. 13, records show.</div> Source: ESPN
A former NBA player getting arrested. What a surprise. I swear the league should just relocate the teams to the most crime-ridden place in the US and call it the National Thug Association because that's basically what it is now with all these fckn kids that think being a ghetto thug is cool.
Wasn't he also involved with raping a girl a while back in Antoine Walkers house? Whatever, as clear it out has said, former NBA players getting arrested has become a recurring theme.
