Texsox Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=1935140 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Indiana Pacers players will be charged for fighting with fans during the Nov. 19 brawl at the end of a game against the Detroit Pistons, Oakland County Prosecutor David Gorcyca told The Detroit News. "Whoever was involved in fisticuffs will be charged, regardless if they were wearing a jersey. It's obvious there were several Pacer players and fans that dealt blows," Gorcyca said, the newspaper reported Tuesday. The prosecutor declined to say which players would be charged or what the charges might be. Auburn Hills police Lt. James Manning told the newspaper that he expects four members of the Pacers to face assault and battery charges. Manning said at a news conference Monday that a lawyer for the Pacers told detectives that none of the players would agree to be interviewed by police. Prosecutors could get the police report by the beginning of next week, Manning said. More at link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 From the IndyStar... 2 banned from Detroit arena over NBA brawl AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- Two men were banned from events at The Palace for what the Detroit Pistons say is their involvement in last month's brawl during an NBA game. John Green and Charlie Haddad have been sent letters informing them of the ban, which also includes events at DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, Pistons spokesman Matt Dobek said Wednesday. The Clarkson location is another holding of the Palace Sports and Entertainment organization. Green, of Oakland County's West Bloomfield Township, is accused of lobbing a cup at Indiana Pacers forward Ron Artest on Nov. 19, sparking the brawl. Haddad, of Burt, ran onto the court that night, Dobek said. The brawl spilled into the stands and led to three Indiana players being suspended for 25 or more games - including a season-long penalty for Artest. No criminal charges have been filed in the brawl.
