He also was arrested on suspicion of using force or violence to prevent the woman from reporting a crime.</p><p>&quot;He was very cooperative,&quot; Scott said of Artest, found sitting calmly outside the home. &quot;He gave no problems to any of the officers on scene.&quot;</p></td></tr></tbody></table></h1>

I was in Detroit that faithful night! I don't know how this guy lives with himself. As a NYC kid he makes me ashamed to be from here!

I read somwhere (maybe even here) that his community called the authorities on him bacause his dog was under fed.&nbsp; It ended up in him losing his dog.
