The NBA…it’s faaaaaaaaantastic
The center for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Eddie Griffin, has just been sued for $50,000. The lawsuit was brought by two Minneapolis men, one of whom owns a Chevy Suburban. The problem with the Suburban, according to the lawsuit, is that it was hit and damaged by Griffin’s Cadillac Escalade at 2:30 in the morning back in March. And the reason Griffin’s Escalade hit the SUV is because Griffin was allegedly drunk. The accident took place outside of the brothers’ grocery store, and they say the’ve got footage from the store’s video surveillance showing Griffin not only acting drunk, but admitting to being drunk.
Meanwhile, when the cops showed up following a 911 call, Griffin allegedly tried to bribe them. And the cops, according to the lawsuit, didn’t bother to give Griffin a field sobriety test despite signs of his inebriated state, and then even drove him home to St. Paul. So the brothers are also suing the local police chief and the responding officers, alleging violations of their civil rights.
Oh, and did I forget to mention that Griffin wasn’t only drunk, but was allegedly watching a porn DVD and masturbating at the time he crashed into their Suburban? Thank you Eddie Griffin, you just saved the need for me to try to be funny or come up with a punchline to this story. Well done, sir.
