Richard Jefferson arrested for assault
New Jersey Net, Richard Jefferson, has been arrested for assault after an incident in January this year.
Nets' Jefferson charged with assaulting man in January
It's a charming story where Jefferson assaults some guy who was trying to celebrate his birthday in a private party. Happy birthday, *strangle*.
Jefferson was in town with the team on Jan. 27 when, according to a charge filed, he went to a club in the Graves Hotel where the victim was having a private birthday party in a roped-off section.Just lovely.
The documents say Jefferson entered the area and got angry when he was asked to leave. He is accused of grabbing the victim, shoving him to a bench and choking him with both hands.
