    Carmelo Anthony Cops A DUI?

    Multi millionaire NBA dudes never cease to amaze me. Carmelo Anthony, seemingly eternal fiance of MTV’s LaLa Vasquez, was arresed this morning in Denver on suspicion of drunk driving. According to reports:

    Anthony was driving south on Interstate 25 at around 4 a.m. when he was pulled over and taken into custody. Denver police said he was driving a silver Mercedes and was stopped for failing to drive in a single lane and failing to dim lights. Several Denver media outlets reported that he was given a Breathalyzer test.

    He did take a blood test and was released on bond a while later. His test results will be back in 2 weeks and his court date is set for May 14. Didn’t you just have a kid Melo? And can’t you more than afford a damn driver? Let’s do better.

      Just because he’s rich doesn’t mean he’s smart. Most of those guys in the nba/nfl were in special education classes.

      I thought a DUI is driving under the influence
      and a DWI is driving while intoxicated.
      I doubt that they would need 2wks to get tests back on whether Carmelo was drunk or not. Breathalyzers and all those other tests - more instant results.

      They will never get a driver because most think they can handle it and are usually in denial…They don’t believe in the phrase, “It’s better to be safe than sorry…”

      What kinda charge is “failing to dim lights”? Geezus! Just call it what you really want to call it! DWB! Now if he was intoxicated, yes, by all means charge him with a DWI! But what is failing to dim lights about? And why is this taking 2 weeks? Did the police officer give him a blood test? Isn’t a breathalyzer instantaneous? I’m in NY, where the cops pull you over because they hate the fact that a Black man is in a nice car and they either bust ur azz or shoot you right on the spot! I don’t understand these Denver police and these imaginery charges and rules, lol.

      Yeah, Natasha girl you hit it on the nose when you said “eternal fiance.”
      I have been waitin for the day they are going to finally announce the wedding date. It’s like damn, La La had the baby to keep the man and can’t even make it to the alter. That’s fucked up! And dude got millions and he still insists on driving under the influence. Sometimes I think celebs do shit for publicity, positive or negative.

      I try to cheer for Carmelo, because he plays next to my favorite player Allen Iverson. But dude is stupid. He is a good player, but he plays about as stupid as he looks in that picture. His team is making a push for playoff position and here he is playing around. Good one MARSH-MELO!! SMH, you know what i’m done.

      And Natasha, you know you wrong for that picture, Carmelo look greasy as hell in that pic. LMAO!!!

He is a good b-ball player but he also plays the game about as stupid as he looks in that picture. His team is making a playoff push and he goes and does something like this. Thanks a lot Marsh-Melo!! SMH, you know what i’m done.

      And Natasha, you know you wrong for that picture of Carmelo…he looks greasy as hell in that picture. LMAOOO!!!

      B-more, B-more, Wheeew! He’s not trying to look hard, that’s how he looks. Still representing Baldimore I see. Thanks, Melo. And didn’t we learn anything about being basketball players and knocking up girls named “La La” from “He Got Game”? Burnt.

      Maybe its me, but I never knew this guy was so sexy. He does look like he gained a few pounds though. But them lips….whoaaa. I guess milke does do a body good, maybe he should have had some that night instead of that fifth of goose.
