Virginia Beach prosecutors were forced to drop extortion charges against a longtime friend of Detroit Pistons guard Allen Iverson.
Investigators would not go into details about the nature of the extortion, but they say Andre “Arnie” Steele, 38, called Iverson’s lawyer in Virginia Beach and threatened to expose information about Iverson to the media.
Police said, “He contacted the attorney and demanded either money and/or property and said if his demand was not met he was going to do something the victim would not like.”
Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Phillip C. Hollowell tried to delay Monday’s hearing until the completion of the NBA season — saying he and Iverson had not had a chance to discuss the case.
But the judge in the case declined a request to delay the hearing until the end of the NBA season.
Iverson spoke fondly of Steele in interviews early in his career, saying Steele was like a father figure to him.
I hope it ain’t no gay sh1t going on AI….
His ROAD dog aint sh*t, especially if AI considered him a father figure. This recession has people doing crazy sh*t
nope, ai got a drug problem, he been on that stuff since college. i had many people tell me about how ai love the white horse and did it like crazy. i heard he did crack too. the cheating on his wife is nothing new, so i know he wasnt trying to get duckies for that old news.
I know this is the wrong post but I guess nothing is gonna posted about Usher & Tameka. I actually like Tameka.
he can bounce back from a drug problem (or a drug allegation), however i’m w/ goat, i sure hope he isn’t a DL brother…there’s def more to this story…
@bloggergirlz…….that exactly the way I was thinking……I know its ashame to want somebody to have drug problem than be DL….
ai is like 34 hes doesnt help his teams get better. being traded because he doesnt likee to work out and hog the ball doesnt help, he on his last legs….. i dont think its dl, u know ai is ghetto and his family is ghetto with a big g….on his rap cd, didnt he talk nasty about gay folks ? it would be something to make ai shell out some cash to keep him quiet…. but im sure its some kind of corruption, didnt his step father get busted a while back ?
AI is my nigga and all…but fuck the bullshit about Arnie being his father figure. How a nigga 4 years older than you gone be your father figure?
Niggas need someone to look up to.
(silly me)
@teecee
Are you serious??? I hope your facts are straight regarding A.I which I doubt seriously.You need to stop all that b.s.
A.i is not on no powder and he surely not DL. And as far as him being on his last legs this man can get on the court with any 21 year old and dust their ass off.
as much as i’d like to see him naked, i dont get any DL vibes at all from iverson. i doubt it’s that. usually the bs people think they have on you isn’t really as major as we’d like to think it is. shit, if it’s a secret, half the time folks already knew or suspected it.
i dont know about drugs or anything that can be so damaging. so much for best friends and father figures. another clown only around cuz of who iverson was/came to be. that’s pretty lame right there. if iverson has done something so damaging, why not get him some help, or disassociate yaself from him….you’re proving now ur not really a friend.
file this under ‘and that nigga aint came up missing yet?’
oh yeah…I do want iverson to lose those cornrows/braids etc. he’s sexier with the regular cut, plus it’s time and long over due. guys in their 30’s still presenting themselves like this.
uh what else is there to tell? he’s a woman beater, a thug, a gambler, hothead and an adulterer..unless he’s DL that’s the only thing that could be said..and that’s half the NBA as it is
