Telfair Fined For Having Gun On Blazers Plane

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Sports Illustrated - The Portland Trail Blazers have fined guard Sebastian Telfair an undisclosed amount after a loaded gun was found on the team's private jet at Boston's Logan Airport, The Oregonian newspaper reported Wednesday.Telfair, 20, had hidden the Smith & Wesson handgun in a pillow case, but it was discovered by Transportation Security Administration personnel as the team prepared to fly to Toronto, TSA spokeswoman Jennifer Peppin told the Portland newspaper."He said it was an accident, Peppin said.According to the Oregonian report, the team said the gun is registered in Oregon to Samantha Rodriguez, Telfair's girlfriend of five years.Telfair, who declined to comment prior to a Wednesday night game in Oklahoma City, told team officials that he inadvertently grabbed his girlfriends handbag, which contained the gun, when the team left Portland on Feb. 7th for its five-game trip.The matter was turned over to the Massachusetts Port Authority, which said no charges would be filed.The team fined him for violating league and team policy. The National Basketball Association said it is reviewing the case."While we had to allow the legal process to run its course, and were grateful it appears that the authorities have determined Sebastian initially made an innocent mistake, he clearly compounded the situation by making the wrong choice by not notifying the teams traveling security agent about his situation immediately," Blazers president Steve Patterson said Wednesday."He has apologized profusely, but he knows he must be held accountable for his actions."</div>Source: Sports Illustrated

 

I knew he was stupid, why u think he didn't go to college. but i do respect his play.

 

What a stupid mistake. Accident or not, that was a bad move for his reputation I think.

 

You can take the man out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the man.... :no1:...Remember this kid grew up with people being murdered in his apartment building...guns to him aren't as serious.

 

still he knew he was gonna go to a bad place maybe thats y he took the Gun kinda messed up one of my fav. yooung players

 

Ah good to see the good ole Jail Blazers haven't changed a bit

 

yeah, he was going to a bad place in that private jet...come on...

 

Pathetic.Try to sum it up better. The man, along with other celebrities/athletes have to let their pasts go, and live life to the fullest. Sabastien, you are retarded

 

Who accidentally puts their gun in their pillow case? Maybe you could make a case for accidental if he left it in a bag, but not when its in your pillow case.He shouldve gone to college instead of right to the pros.

have any of you read it?he said he accidently grabbed his girlfriend's bag which contained the gun. the gun was actually traced to his girlfriend and licensed to her too. he hid it in the pillowcase because he didn't wanna be caught. it was stupid of him to not notify anyone. but it really was an honest mistake.lol not like he was ready to shoot somebody or anything.

Shouldnt be a problem. If they have the correct eveidence that the gun was his girlfriens, and she has the license to prove it and stuff, he should get off the hook. I didnt read the article

 

just a young gun, no pun intended, making a small mistake. he finds his girls gun by accident and panics, no biggie. if u blazer fans dont want bassy then send him to boston. i love the kid personally, through the fire was awesome. take lafrentz, and tony allen. give us ratliff and bassy. that should be fair.

 

The Trailblazers should set-up a Tickets for Guns Program like Philly.

 

BUMP!

 

HCP #1 in bumping old useless threads.

 

Geeze, no kidding. Maybe he forgot he didn't get the memo he didn't star in this one.

 

I'm pretty sure he's in Lazy's signature a few posts above this one.
