Chicago Bulls Forward Fizer Arrested

CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago Bulls forward Marcus Fizer was charged with having a loaded gun in his car and driving with a suspended license early Sunday morning.

Illinois State Police Sgt. Wayne Winterberg said Fizer was pulled over just after 2 a.m. for having tinted windows on his sport-utility vehicle.

Police then found Fizer was driving with a suspended license. While preparing to tow his car, police searched it and found a .40-caliber

The 24-year-old Fizer was drafted out of Iowa State fourth overall by the Bulls in 2000.

The Bulls did not immediately return telephone calls to The Associated Press.

A bond hearing was scheduled for Sunday.

The charges will be dismissed.

And they said the Bulls couldn't replace Pippen.

I didn't know Fizer was related to Jeb Bush.

Go Blazers !

African-American, the

The news reported it's against the law to tint the windshield & front windows in IL, how does pulling him over for a legitimate infraction violate his rights? Sounds like more work for Johnny Cochran.

Go Blazers !

And no, the Blazers have not expressed interest in Fizer, yet.

Go Blazers !

good catch, dust.

Doesn't need to be. Not everything can be blamed on the BUshies. See Allen Iverson and his recent gun-waving exploits (and, speaking of this, did anyone see Sir Charles on Tim Russert yesterday? Good stuff.).

I notice this is cross-posted to asbncb but I see no responses from that group. Is it completely dead these days?

That will be his ticket out of town for certain. If you're going to be a Chicago Bull and get caught carrying a gun you have to be able to play. Everyone knows that.

Why don't the cops just wait outside the tinting places and:

10 Suspect pays for tint job. 20 Suspect drive off lot. 30 Pull suspect over, issue ticket, poke around for gun or weed. 40 GOTO 10
