Laurence Maroney Arrested on Weapons, Drug Charges in St. Louis

NFL player Laurence Maroney has been arrested by St. Louis police.

Maroney, 25, was held on unlawful weapons charges and drug charges. Maroney was released from jail early Tuesday morning.

Maroney and five other men in their mid-twenties were in a vehicle pulled over by officers late Monday night near Chaifetz Arena. Police say Maroney and his friends had three guns on them.

Maroney is a back-up running back for the Denver Broncos. He was traded at the beginning of the 2010 season by the New England Patriots, who drafted Maroney in the first round of the 2006 NFL draft.

Maroney's publicist, Jane Higgins, confirmed that he was one of those arrested on the weapons allegation. She denied Maroney was arrested for drugs.

"He holds a permit to carry a concealed weapon," Higgins said in a statement. "He was not arrested for any drugs nor was he involved in a high-speed chase. He was released without being charged with any offense and we do not anticipate he will be charged with any criminal offense."

Police spokeswoman Erica Van Ross said one of the men had a valid concealed weapon permit but that state law prohibits possessing a gun while under the influence of drugs. She declined to elaborate.

Police say applications for warrants could take up to a month, pending the results of a crime lab report on what is believed to be marijuana.

Police mention nothing about a high speed chase in their report. They say around 10:30 p.m. Monday "three vehicles were circling Chaifetz Arena and causing traffic to slow when the persons in the vehicles repeatedly stopped the vehicles in order to talk to passersby. Several of the occupants of the vehicles were observed smoking what was believed to be marijuana. Officers stopped two of the vehicles but a third fled from police and was not located."

Five other people were in the other vehicle pulled over by police. One of them, a 28-year-old man, was arrested for being a felon in possession of a weapon.

altimore Ravens Sergio Kindle Arrested; NFL Career Likely over in Baltimore

The Baltimore Ravens are filled with excitement after clinching a playoff birth today, while Sergio Kindle continues his awful rookie season after being arrested today on a DUI.

Kindle, a former standout at the University of Texas, was drafted in the second round by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2010 NFL Draft.

Injuries and questions about his character made him a second-round talent. The Ravens had intentions of making him a good pass rusher not only in the future but in his rookie season as well.

However, everything has gone wrong in his first year as an NFL player. Kindle suffered a fractured skull after falling down multiple flights of stairs in his own home.

The Ravens placed Kindle on injured reserve in August and hoped he would return healthy for 2011.

It's tough for me to see Kindle in a Ravens uniform next season. This is the second off-the-field issue Kindle has dealt with in the past six months.

What is even more devestating about this is this act took place during the middle of the night, with Kindle also driving over the speed limit.

General manager Ozzie Newsome and head coach John Harbaugh believed Kindle would be more responsible for his actions after his troubles early on.

With the crime Kindle committed today, I can't see a disciplinarian like Harbaugh allowing him to come back or even gain any playing time.

Since Kindle's first mixup over the summer, people questioned whether or not he would be a draft bust. In the end, it seems Kindle won't have a chance to live up to his potential due to inexcusable actions off-the-field.

Denver Bronco Kevin Alexander arrested, cut from team

Aurora Police say they were called to Kevin Alexander's apartment in Aurora just before 10 a.m. Monday morning. Police say Alexander's girlfriend called 911. According to investigators, the incident in question happened Sunday night.

According to the arrest report, Alexander's girlfriend told police she and Alexander got into an argument Sunday night when he got home. 9NEWS is choosing not to release the victim's name because she is a victim of domestic violence.

The woman also told police she was upset about the incident but didn't want to do anything that would "jeopardize his career."

"She feels they will immediately cut him," the arrest report states.

According to police documents, at one point the woman grabbed a steak knife to keep Alexander away.

The woman also told police Alexander punched her once before.

Former boxing world champ Floyd Mayweather charged with poking security guard in the eye

Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr has been charged with jabbing a finger in the face of a security guard after he placed two parking tickets on his vehicles.

The 33-year-old star allegedly attacked worker Shayne Smith outside his luxury home in Las Vegas last month.

Nine-times world champion Mayweather is accused of battery after poking the private security officer, according to U.S. reports.

Paperwork says he screamed at Smith that he had 'no f***ing business' touching his cars, celebrity website TMZ.com said.

Mayweather reportedly tore one of the tickets off his car and put it on the 21-year-old homeowner association guard's vehicle.

The paperwork says: 'While lambasting Smith, Mayweather was allegedly jabbing his finger into the left side of Smith's cheek just below his eye.

'This willful and unlawful use of force and violence upon Smith caused redness and discoloration to the area which was battered by Mayweather.'

The worker says in the documents he drove off following the incident on November 15 to 'de-esculate' the situation.

He then told his manager what had happened and took photos of the injury he had suffered.

When police officers arrived Mayweather allegedly refused to come out of his home to speak to them.

The boxer, who lives in South Highlands, Las Vegas, Nevada, has not yet commented on the charges.

Ex-NBA, MSU star Jay Vincent charged in jobs scam

Ex-NBA player and Michigan State star Jay Vincent has been indicted for an Internet employment scam that bilked about 20,000 jobseekers out of about $2 million, the U.S. Attorney’s office said Thursday.

The 51-year-old Vincent and 53-year-old Anthony Portee face charges of mail fraud, and Vincent is charged with an income tax violation, authorities said.

Both men live in Lansing.

Vincent earned an NCAA championship at Michigan State in 1979 on a team that included Magic Johnson. He played for the Spartans until 1981.

Dallas drafted him with the first pick of the second round in 1981. He averaged 21.4 points per game his rookie season and spent five seasons with the Mavericks.

He later played for Washington, Denver, San Antonio and the Los Angeles Lakers, ending his NBA career with Philadelphia in 1990.

Vincent is “a legitimate businessman” and is cooperating with investigators, his lawyer, Charles Ford, told The Associated Press.

“A person is innocent until proven guilty,” said Ford, a longtime friend of Vincent. “This man is iconic in this area. This is a person who has given a lot to the community.”

A number listed for Portee was disconnected. His lawyer, Raymond Buffmyer, did not immediately return a message.

The charges cover a period from Jan. 1, 2006 to Aug. 25, 2009 and involves the defendants’ business Foreclosure Bank Inspection Co.

Vincent and Portee concocted a scheme to defraud people seeking work through their Foreclosure Bank Inspection Co., according to the indictment.

The company claimed to test, certify and employ people to inspect bank foreclosed homes, and advertised that the company had contracts and received large checks from major banks to do the work. In reality, the copies of contracts and checks used in the ads were altered or counterfeit, the indictment said.

The company also did not hire contractors to perform inspections. What it did do was charge $149 to provide liability insurance for each job applicant and $89 for background checks, according to the indictment.

False insurance policies were prepared in the company’s offices and no background checks were made, the indictment said. Tests, completed and returned by applicants, were stored in boxes without reviews.

In the income tax charge, Vincent is accused of reporting a business income of $62,438 on his 2008 tax return. Authorities said the actual amount he earned was $330,269.

Former NFL Player Mark Fields Arrested For Allegedly Assaulting Ex-Girlfriend

Former NFL player Mark Fields was arrested on Monday for reportedly beating his ex-girlfriend following a dispute over their daughter. According to abc15.com, Fields was in Goodyear, AZ outside his daughter’s childcare center, Tutor Time, when witnesses say he began beating a woman and putting her in a chokehold. The alleged victim was his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his daughter who was at the Tutor Time to drop off court ordered documents. The two had reportedly been fighting over custody when the argument broke out.

According to the report, police records show Fields reportedly threw his ex-girlfriend to the ground and threatened to kill her and say she had blood on her left arm along with bruises and visible scratches. Fields has been charged with felony counts of aggravated assault and interference with education as well as misdemeanor counts of endangerment and disorderly conduct.

Ex-Spur hauled back to jail

For the third time this year, Bexar County authorities have arrested former NBA All-Star Alvin Robertson.

Robertson, 48, a San Antonio resident who played with the Spurs from 1984 to 1989, was arrested Friday night. He has been awaiting trial since February on a first-degree felony sex trafficking of a minor charge.

Earlier Friday, state District Judge Juanita Vasquez-Gardner ordered that his bail be increased from $150,000 to $200,000 after a Bexar County Pretrial Services bond officer raised allegations that he met with a co-defendant and has ignored a no-contact order regarding an alleged adult victim.

The alleged victim “stated he calls her to come to his house to bring him beer, which she admits to doing,” bond officer Rose De Los Santos wrote in a letter to the court. Robertson “has also mentioned that he has contact with the (woman), but that the calls and visits are initiated by (her).

“She stated she no longer wants to proceed prosecuting the defendant because of their personal history together; she just doesn’t approve of his activities with the child victim in his charges.”

If Robertson is released from jail on the increased bail, he will be restricted to full house arrest, the judge decided. He already wears an ankle monitor.

Defense attorney Jimmy Parks Jr. said Friday that he was surprised by the order. He hadn’t been aware of the allegations, he said, adding that they must be the result of a misunderstanding.

“We’re going to do everything we can to get it worked out,” he said. “It just surprises me because he’s been working so well, trying to be a productive member of society.”

Authorities have alleged, among other things, that Robertson was one of seven people who forced a 14-year-old into prostitution in Corpus Christi and San Antonio last year. He was arrested on the charge in February while in Bentonville, Ark., for a basketball clinic.

He was rearrested so his bail could be increased less than a month later, after prosecutors said two women complained he was threatening them, one of whom said he was blaming her for his legal problems.
