Suit: NBA Player Watching Porn, Drunk Before Crash Suit: NBA Player Watching Porn, Drunk Before Crash Claim Targets Minnesota Timberwolves' Eddie Griffin (CBS) MINNEAPOLIS On March 30, Minnesota Timberwolves center Eddie Griffin was drunk and masturbating when he crashed his luxury SUV into a parked Suburban outside a store in Minneapolis, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday by the man whose Suburban was hit in the crash. WCCO-TV obtained copies of 911 calls and store surveillance video of the incident, along with an accident report the police submitted to the state, reports WCCO-TV's Caroline Lowe. Several of the 911 callers that night said Griffin was drunk. One witness said Griffin told him he was watching pornography in a DVD player mounted on the dashboard of his Cadillac Escalade SUV when he struck a Chevy Suburban parked on University Avenue Southeast. The location where Griffin crashed is located a couple miles from the Target Center where Griffin had played with his team several hours earlier. Abed Hassuneh, who is the brother of the victim, said Griffin told him, "That he was masturbating himself going down that street. That's how the accident happened because he was not paying attention. He's paying attention to that video and all of a sudden he's shoveled somebody's car on the top of the sidewalk." Interim Minneapolis Police Chief Tim Dolan ordered an internal affairs investigation of the conduct of the two officers who responded to the scene, after WCCO-TV made Dolan aware of allegations about the incident. Key questions are why Griffin wasn't tested for alcohol and why the officers drove him out of the city to his home in St. Paul. Griffin also received tickets for not having a license and inattentive driving. Griffin's damaged SUV was towed to the Minneapolis impound lot. Dolan told WCCO-TV he expects impartial policing. Dolan also said officers must get permission to leave the city. "Obviously, if somebody is drunk and they are driving we want that dealt with by the police officers of Minneapolis," Dolan said. In the video, Griffin can be heard pleading with witnesses to not call police saying, "I can't go to jail." The video also shows Griffin admitting he is drunk and doesn't have a driver's license. The video shows him struggling for minutes to put on his sweatshirt and offering to buy a car for the man who's SUV he crashed into in front of Santana Foods. Griffin was not available for comment. When he was interviewed by reporters after the crash happened, he said he had dropped his cell phone as he drove. The two officers involved in the incident, Daniel Anderson and Matthew Lindquist, have been with the Minneapolis Police Department since October 2001. The officers remain on duty pending the outcome of the internal investigation. (© MMVI, CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.) From Our Partners Careers: Find a job SPONSORED LINKS

Woop, woop ! Sound of Po-lice, woop, woop...
Or as they said back it the day, "Cops! Beat it." (I cannot continue to contribute to this thread.) Cheers, E.
At least Redick wasn't masturbating.
Coulda been worse. He coulda been talking on a cell phone.
Nah, worse would have been if he had a girlfriend along and she was going down on him. Head on the highway is the cause of many wrecks, many of them fatal and (ahem) disfiguring, if you know what I mean. ;0)

Back in the '80's I knew a couple of girls who were magnets for spankers. Being a couple of big hair, Motley Cru groupie types might have had something to do with it. Somehow they just attracted wierdos who were prone to pulling it out and playing with it at the damnedest times. To hear them tell the stories was more than a little amusing. The first time, they were driving home from a party on campus. While at a stop sign, a guy walked up to their car and asked if they "want to see the weasel." Of course both girls broke out in hysterical laughter...until said weasel was produced and he started tossing off right there next to the car. Then the laughter was quickly mixed with a sense of horror as the realized the spanker was about to ejaculate. They just barely got the window rolled up in time.

Didn't there used to be a TV program called Peter Gunn? And an actor named Dick Long?
"Benjamin Franklin was shown the new American constitution, and he said, 'I don't like it, but I will vote for it because we need something right now. But this constitution in time will fail, as all such efforts do. And it will fail because of the corruption of the people, in a general sense.' And that is what it has come to now, exactly as Franklin predicted." -- Gore Vidal
Peter Gunn was a swinger of sorts. They used to have beatniks on the show (it was before hippies).
...who tells somebody this?? .."Uh, yeah..you know...that's how like to do it...in my escalade wit the windows down an' shit..'' :)

I always suspected there was something hinky about any man that would play center.
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
It would have been different if the girls had asked to see it. Sheesh! What kind of crazies?
