Probably best remembered for his involvement in the infamous 2004 Indiana Pacers brawl with Detroit Pistons fans, Ron Artest, who now plays for the Sacramento Kings, faces four misdemeanor charges as a result of a dispute with his wife. Here’s what went down:
Placer County Deputy District Attorney Dan Quick said Artest will be arraigned Thursday on charges of battery and corporal injury to a spouse, false imprisonment and dissuading a witness from reporting a crime. Each carries a maximum sentence of one year in prison.
Artest was arrested March 5 at his estate in Loomis, 25 miles northeast of Sacramento, and was released from custody after posting a $50,000 bond.
A Placer County sheriff’s report said Artest grabbed a woman and pushed her down, then slapped her face during an argument. The report, which did not identify the victim because it was a domestic violence incident, said Artest took a phone from the woman the first time she tried to call 911

Dime magazine, a publication I can only assume is a basketball 'lifestyle' magazine, which means it consists entirely of stories about matching your hat to the inside lining of your jacket and pictures of hubcaps, has an advice column that allows readers to send in their questions and receive advice about love, life, and anything else. Oh, and it's written by Ron Artest, the basketball player

Some people just should not be parents...or pet owners as well apparently. If I were to make a list of those people, somehow I think Ron Artest would be near the top. And that was before this...

Yesterday, Terrence called me to say that Kevin (his best friend in college) wanted Terrence to meet him in New York City. So I asked, "When?"And Terrence answered, "Tonight."Terrence's mom works for Delta Airlines so it really "ain't nothing" for him to get on a plane and meet Kevin in any corner of the nation. The two of them are becoming quite the travelers. So when I asked T if he was coming, I was surprised when he said no. Apparently Terrence had better things to do this weekend in Atlanta than fly to New York and hang out with Kev and Ron Artest at this weekend's fashion shows and after-parties. Riiiiiight.Kevin is in the city for a few days to play in Ron Artest's charity game (in which I heard Kev scored 45 points tonight); both of them play for the Sacramento Kings, but the latter is from Queens. Kevin, Terrence and I attended the same college in North Carolina, which is where T and I met and began dating after I graduated; Mr. Artest has no idea I'm alive. This morning,
