Arkansas State leading scorer Banks suspended after gun arrest
Here’s a boneheaded act that got Arkansas State’s leading scorer suspended indefinitely from the team — early Sunday morning, Adrian Banks was arrested for firing a gun in the air several times. Banks claimed he found the gun at a night club, and he was firing off the shots so that no one would get hurt. He left the club after a fight broke out and was riding in a car with other players, but why did the bonehead need to empty the gun at that point? Here were his comments:
“I just really want to say that what happened last night was a stupid incident, it was a mistake,” Banks said. “It was nothing like I was out there shooting at someone or anything. It wasn’t my weapon or anything. I just found the gun, and I was really trying to protect my teammates from anything happening. It wasn’t like I was shooting at someone or was involved in anything. That’s pretty much the way it was. I just want to apologize to my school, my coaches and my parents and everyone involved.”
Whatever dude — the fact that you’re out at 2:30 in the morning firing a gun in the air makes you an idiot. Enjoy your suspension.
