Former Hoop Star Jayson Williams Gets Tasered By The Popo!

Former NBA star Jayson Williams was tasered by police in his posh hotel suite Monday after the reportedly suicidal ex-NBA star resisted their attempts to take him to a hospital.
According to the Associated Press, police were called to the hotel in lower Manhattan’s Battery Park City around 4 a.m. when a female friend reported the former New Jersey Nets player was acting suicidal. When officers arrived, the 6-foot-10, 325-pound Williams appeared drunk and agitated, police said. There were empty bottles of prescription drugs strewn around his disheveled hotel suite and several suicide notes.
Officers with the Emergency Services Unit, an elite team trained to deal with emotionally disturbed people, responded and stunned Williams with a Taser after he resisted attempts to be hospitalized. Both Williams’ manager and lawyer immediately downplayed the incident to various media outlets on Monday.
“Jayson is doing fine. He said he was fine,” Williams’ manager Akhtar Farzaie told the New York Daily News. “All of us are here to be by his side as friends.” Williams’ lawyer, Joe Hayden, told TMZ.com that he “has no knowledge of a suicide attempt or [of Williams] being suicidal.” He also told the Web site that Williams was at St. Vincent’s Hospital for a “medical condition.”
TMZ also cites unnamed sources who say Williams was still under evaluation at press time Monday and was expected to stay in the hospital overnight for observation. The 41-year-old former NBA All-Star, who played nine seasons with the Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers before retiring in 2000. He was convicted in 2004 of trying to cover up the shooting death of his hired driver Costas “Gus” Christofi at his mansion in Alexandria Township, N.J., in February 2002. He was acquitted of aggravated manslaughter, but the jury deadlocked on a reckless manslaughter count. A retrial is pending and he has been free on bail since the shooting. Williams’ wife filed divorce papers this year claiming he was abusive, adulterous and had a drug problem. Proceedings continue.
