Quote:
HOUSTON -- Rockets center Dwight Howard was detained at George Bush Intercontinental Airport on Friday for having a handgun in his carry-on bag.

Houston Police Department spokesperson Kese Smith said Wednesday that Howard was stopped at Terminal E at 7 a.m. when Transportation Security Administration officials discovered a pistol in the bottom of a carry-on bag.

Howard told officials the gun was his, and after being detained by law enforcement officials he was allowed to give the handgun to an associate.

The Houston District Attorney's office was contacted after Howard was detained and declined to press any criminal charges against him.

Howard was allowed to board a later flight.


He got off pretty lucky.

I guess shooting missed free throws or baby mama's wasn't enough.

why would forgetting your gun was in the bag be a big deal to a texan?

If Dwight Howard goes on a rampage, the safest place to stand is right in front of him.

I'm starting to think that Dwight is actually borderline mentally challenged... Not just as an insult, but like actually.

I've always thought that.

Russell was 70+ years old when he got caught.
Can DW say he is 70 years old, too?

To DW's defense, he shoots better at the FT line than Russell. A 1% more accuracy is remarkable.
