As if the Lakers aren’t in enough trouble with the pesky Hornets. Now one of their players is in trouble with the law…
Authorities say Los Angeles Lakers forward Derrick Caracter was arrested in New Orleans, accused of public drunkenness and shoving a cashier at a pancake restaurant.
Police said the 22-year-old player was arrested early Sunday and booked into jail on charges of battery, public drunkenness and resisting arrest. They say Caracter allegedly grabbed and shoved the cashier at an International House of Pancakes after he was refused service and became belligerent. The woman wasn’t injured.
Police initially said the cashier was pregnant, but later said that was an error.
Authorities say Caracter was freed later Sunday morning on $1,000 bond
