The Butler Did It; Rasual Faces Gun Charges

Posted by Jeff Sack under NBA Off The Court Issues

Well the NBA Finals have not even been over a week yet, and we are getting reports of our first player from the Association facing gun charges. No surer sign of Summer in the NBA. The “Associated Press” reported Monday that New Orleans Hornets veteran guard Rasual Butler has been charged with carrying a concealed fire arm, as well as improperly displaying a firearm. The incident took place early Monday morning near a Southy Florida night club. Butler who just completed his sixth season in the Association, was released Monday afternoon, according to a report released by the Miami-Dade County Corrections Department. Butler just turned 29 last month, he has played three years, for the Hornets, and played his first three years in the Association with Miami. Rasual, here is a little friendly advice. If you feel you have to be packing to go into a particular club, you might not want to go there after all.
