You neglect to tell us why he's facing charges, of course...Or maybe everyone except me just knows...

He's facing charges because he refuses to stay out of trouble. That cannot be blamed on the media. It's his fault. Nobody but his.



By MICHAEL RUBINKAM
.c The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA (July 11) -- NBA All-Star Allen Iverson will be charged with forcing his way into a cousin's apartment with a gun and threatening two men while looking for his wife, authorities said Thursday.

The announcement came the same day police searched his suburban mansion and his uncle's home, looking for the gun Iverson was accused of carrying the night he showed up at the apartment.

Iverson will be charged with criminal trespass, simple assault, terroristic threats and gun offenses, District Attorney Lynne Abraham said. Four of the counts are felonies.

"I don't expect Mr. Iverson will be treated any different than anyone else,'' she said.

Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson said he will arrange with Iverson's lawyer for the Philadelphia 76ers' guard to surrender. Johnson said that could happen as early as Thursday night.

"We had two complaints we felt were credible. Detectives did a very thorough, complete and professional investigation,'' Johnson said.

Iverson's uncle, Gregory Iverson, was accused of accompanying Iverson to the apartment. He also was charged with criminal trespass, simple assault, terroristic threats and other offenses.

Iverson, a former league MVP, was accused of going to the Cobbs Creek Court apartment complex early on July 3 to look for wife Tawanna and cousin Shaun Bowman, who lives there. Neither was there, said Charles Jones, who has lived in the apartment since March.

Jones, who met with police Tuesday, told reporters Iverson had a gun when he forced his way inside the apartment and threatened Jones and another man.

Police said Iverson has no gun permit, nor does he have a gun registered in Pennsylvania.

Iverson and his wife had been involved in a fight that spanned two days. At one point, Iverson threw her out of their mansion, according to tapes of a 911 call from Jones obtained by The Philadelphia Inquirer. Tawanna Iverson and another man had fled the home and were in hiding, according to the report.

Iverson and his wife of 11 months have not commented publicly.

Iverson's dazzling play has made him one of the most popular NBA players, and his Sixers jersey is the league's top seller.

The charges in the gun case, however, are just his latest problems with the law.

As a teenager, he was arrested in a Hampton, Va., bowling-alley brawl in 1993 and spent four months in prison before then-Gov. Douglas Wilder granted clemency. The conviction was overturned on appeal in 1995.

In 1997, Iverson pleaded no contest to a gun charge after police near Richmond, Va., stopped a car in which he was a passenger and found a gun belonging to Iverson and two marijuana cigarettes. A marijuana-possession charge was dropped.

Iverson completed 100 hours of community service, two years of drug testing and three years' probation, after which his record was expunged.

If I didn't know better, I would say that I wrote the above quote - can I say - You took the words, right out of my mouth !!!

Iverson apparantly busted into somebody's house with a gun looking for his wife! and now he's being charged with assault or something like that??!! I don't blame him if his wife was up to no good -OR- someone had her against her will?
I'm not clear on the details yet myself...
but I will be praying for Iverson !

Yikes! He's indeed whiney, and a thug, but I don't hope he gets prison raped for the idiocy he has been involved in over the years. That's a bit much.
This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes.

I dunno, I think if he became Big Bubba's wife for a day, he might calm down a little bit.

What do you figure he's worth in prison anyways? 4 cartons of cigarettes and a porn mag?
