:(

Don't ever run from the cops! Esp over a misdemeanor!

[andyokstate]

Good grief.

[BourbonPoke]

geez

I guess he's lost a little bit of his breakaway speed.

He was just trying to create his own shot, but he was stopped by some good man-to-man defense.

[AnniePokely]

I'm quite sure he's relieved this is over.

Wow....and that mug shot is not good.

My question is why would he run if he wasn't doing illegal? OK...urinating in public isn't legal....but I'm talking about drugs, alcohol, carrying a gun, etc. If he was doing anything like that, wouldn't if have been charged?

Please DO NOT read this as a JamesOn bash.....I'm just curious as to why anyone would run. A ticket and fine would be better than getting arrested. :o

Disclaimer: I have no inside knowledge about this incident whatsoever.

My guess is that alcohol was involved... It makes you have to pee and it impaires judgement which leads to bad decisions. If I were him I would just be glad that I wasn't charge with public intox. as well.

[bleedorange]

When in doubt, DON'T whip it out.

[andyokstate]

That's really too bad, as he was having one hell of a showing there.Link HERE (http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/?id=3580656)

BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 14, 2008 - Maurice Baker poured in 41 points to lead the Dakota Wizards to a 125-112 win over the Iowa Energy in the third game of the NBA Development League Showcase Monday at Qwest Arena.

Baker converted 12-of-17 from the floor and 17-of-17 from the free throw line, in addition to dishing out six assists and recording six steals as the Wizards improved to 13-7. Iowa dropped to 9-13 with its seventh consecutive loss.

"This is the third game in a row against Iowa. It's really tough to beat a team three times in a row and I was really proud of out effort level," Dakota coach Duane Ticknor said after playing the Energy for the third time in three days in three different cities. "We played extremely hard on both ends of the floor. We built a little bit of a lead and every time they made a run at it, we had an answer."

Both teams shot over 50-percent from the floor, with Iowa making 45-of-81 (.556) and Dakota 42-of-78 (.538). The difference in the game came at the free throw line where the Wizards make 40-of-42 (.952) and the Energy converted just 14-of-29 (.483).

Rod Benson and Carlos Powell contributed 24 points each for Dakota, followed by Kevin Lyde and Blake Ahearn with 12 apiece. Benson collected nine rebounds for the Wizards.

JamesOn Curry, on assignment from the Chicago Bulls, led Iowa with 34 points, making 15-of-21 from the field and dishing out seven assists. Dwayne Mitchell came off the Iowa bench to score 23, followed by Anthony Tilliver with 19, Jeff Horner with 11 and Jackie Manuel with 10. Tolliver and Mitchell collected nine and eight rebounds, respectively.

"Playing a game is completely different, so I'm working on getting my timing back and getting in a game situation," Curry said. "I ran and tried to stay in the best shape that I could, so today I finally felt that I could keep my air and go hard and push."

Both teams have Tuesday off before resuming play in the Showcase. Iowa meets the Utah Flash and Dakota plays the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.

anyone else find it funny that they play for the whizzzzzzzz-ards?

[Roman Craig]

Now I do:D

[legelegel]

Some people just cannot keep from running afoul with the law.

[cactusjack]

Outraging public decency is what they called it when I was in college. Nearly every young man has walked around the corner from a bar and let er rip in an alley. Only about 10% of us had a cop watching us do it.

[Lewis the Pike]

Actually I had to look out for my friend last night when he was doing it, had to walk from pre-gaming at my apt to go catch a cab.

My buddy had to go water trees while i hailed a cab. LOL

Some people are born under a lucky star....and some people are simply feces magnets. JamesOn unfortunately is in the latter category. A lot of people would ask what in the world was he doing in an alley taking a leak at 2:30am. A fair question. Yet, something I have done too many times in my life to even begin to count 'em. Why I have never been caught doing stupid stuff like that and someone like JamesOn gets caught is only for the karma gods to know for sure. Surely there is a reason, but to me it is one of two things: (i) either it is dumb luck on my part and crummy luck on his or (ii) he isn't smart enough to hug the brick wall and lay low with an eye out for prying eyeballs....versus stand right smack dab in the middle of the alley and flaunt it.

Or then again, maybe there is a reason I hide and hug the wall and he stands in the middle of the alley flaunting it :)

Maybe JamesOn suffers from Uromycitysis.

It can damage your bladder if you hold it in. Right Kramer?
:p

[WyomingOSUAlum]

Nothing's illegal if you don't get caught!

[MajorMike]

I mean, seriously, who hasn't thrown a wizz somewhere they weren't supopsed to. Hell, in Germany, it is legal to piss on the street after dark as long as you turn your back to the traffic.

His dumbass just decided to run.

[JimBob]

Nothing like a thread of "water weasel" jokes to start the day laughing.

I remember when i just got out of high school and went out and got drunk and we were riding in the back of best friend's pick up because there were 8 of us clowns and the police stoped us us and this joker said ; who is the queer in the front seat of the cop car ? well it was the police's chief's mother and the chief was pissed off and he wrote us all tickets so i went and peed on the back tire of the police car .. everybody i was with had a good luagh about it but i got the heftyist fine and i wrote a hot check to pay the fine which landed me in hot water.

oh those were the good ole days when getting drunk would only get you a reprimand but now days you if do that you get hanged.
