Sebastian Telfair Arrested On The Bronx River Parkway

Do you remember the last time we talked about Boston Celtic Sebastian Telfair? He'd just gotten his chain snatched in front of P Diddy's NY restaurant, Justin's, and somehow rapper Fabolous got shot in the leg at the same location. Translation: Fab's boys from Brooklyn like to snatch chains for fun and but Sebastian ain't play that. Anyway, last night Sebastian was doing 77 mph in a 45 mph zone on the Bronx River Parkway and got pulled over. When asked for his license he offered a suspended Florida drivers license. His passenger didn't have a license either and both men were ordered out of the car. That's when the cop noticed a handgun under the driver's seat. Both Sebastian and his passenger said they didn't know where the gun came from. They were both arrested and each posted $7,500.00 bail and were released. Sebastian's cousin Knicks guard Stephon Marbury came to court with him. "I was there to support my cousin - and that's it," Marbury told The Post. "Hey, shit happens. What can I say about it? Shit happens. He's a young guy."

Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck said the "players on the Celtics have been explicitly warned, this year, to obey the team and league gun prohibition as well as state laws. We take this very seriously, and will act accordingly once the facts have been determined."
