就是 Pierce 前陣子的又一樁蠢事。 http://0rz.tw/be4uV Pierce, Celtics mum on incident August 5, 2008 The Celtics yesterday said that NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Paul Pierce would not comment on the early Sunday morning incident during which he was stopped in Las Vegas for "erratic driving." The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department reported that Pierce had been handcuffed after making an illegal lane change in front of the Tropicana Hotel and Casino. Pierce, driving a white BMW, was pulled over at about 3 a.m. Sunday. Pierce passed the field sobriety test, and a Breathalyzer determined that his blood alcohol content was below the .08 legal intoxication limit in Nevada. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Pierce was initially "uncooperative" after being stopped but calmed down after being handcuffed. The cuffs were removed after about 15 minutes, and Pierce was not cited for a traffic violation. Pierce then left his car at valet parking and hired a taxi. ---------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/celtics_blog/ Celtics captain Paul Pierce was reportedly handcuffed following a traffic stop on the Las Vegas strip early Sunday morning. Here's the story from the Las Vegas Review-Journal: http://www.lvrj.com/news/26235529.html The Boston Celtics' Paul Pierce, the most valuable player in the 2008 NBA Finals, was handcuffed by Las Vegas police early Sunday after he was initially uncooperative following a traffic stop for driving erratically on the Strip. Bill Cassell, public information officer for the Metropolitan Police Department, said he did not have the details about why Pierce was cuffed but said it often happens when "an individual is loudly hostile." "You have to remember he's a big guy," Cassell said. Pierce, a forward who is 6 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 235 pounds, "rapidly calmed down," and police removed the handcuffs after about 15 minutes, Cassell said. "We find this happens a lot of times," Cassell said. "Someone is a little agitated, and when they're placed in handcuffs, they rethink things." The traffic stop occurred around 3 a.m. near Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue, Cassell said. Officers gave Pierce field sobriety tests, which often take up to an hour, he said. A Breathalyzer showed Pierce registered below the 0.08 level that defines legal intoxication in Nevada. Pierce did not drive the car after he was stopped. "He made a decision to have one of the valets park his car for the night," Cassell said. Police did not cite Pierce for a traffic infraction. "We don't cite everybody we stop," Cassell said. "Sometimes we give just a verbal warning. It's based on the totality of the circumstances." Pierce, a frequent NBA all-star, led the Celtics to the NBA championship over the Los Angeles Lakers in June. --
