Allen Iverson To Police “I Make More Money Than You Will in 10 Years”

"allen iverson"By B. Hutson

It looks like Allen Iverson was feeling himself a little too much; so much in fact that he had no problem putting a police officer in check.  The former NBA superstar, who currently plays in the Turkish Basketball League for the Beşiktaş, was pulled over by Atlanta police in a car that he was riding in last week for a traffic violation.

The car, a grey Lamborghini that was driven by Antwuan Clisby, was stopped for changing lanes without signaling. Clisby couldn’t produce any documentation for the vehicle, which the officer found belonged to Iverson when he scanned the identification number of the vehicle. The tags for the car expired in 2009. Clisby told the officer his passenger needed to leave the vehicle to eat dinner. When the officer said no one was permitted to leave until his investigation was complete, Iverson berated the officer, according to CNN.

“I’m the (expletive) passenger,” he said.

In the middle of his explicit-filled tirade against the officer, Iverson made it plain that he was unfazed when he was told that the car would be towed.

“Take the vehicle, I have 10 more,” he said. “Police don’t have anything else (expletive) to do except (expletive) with me. Do you know who I am?”

According to the officer’s report, Iverson carried on for the next 20 minutes about who he was. The officer replied, “It really doesn’t matter who you are. You tried to conceal your vehicle with a fake drive-out tag due to you not paying for your tags.”

In response, Iverson scuffed, “I make more money than you will in 10 years.”

But apparently, seeing his vehicle told made him have a change of heart. He later “came back and apologized for disrespecting the police,” according to the police report. “He stated he was just upset about his car.”

  • My Thoughts On This

    Blackpocahontas you are most certainly right, but don't forget to add that they saw 2 young black men in a lambo.. They were certain to get pulled over by a cop somewhere..Some things will just never change with the mindset of some of our OTHER southern citizens..They will mostly all be gone soon, so that is something to look forward to!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    People change lanes all the time without a signal. FACT IS: The only reason the police pulled him over was because of the type of car he was driving. In the police mind – kaching & it's probably stolen. I won't even go there – that his Friend & Allen were driving while black (since I don't know the ethnicity of the officer).

    slows news day I see. WHo gets pulled over for not signaling while changing lanes. And to the person who claims the government should be targeting him, he didn't steal the money he made.

    He earned it fair and square That's what his team offered and that's what he was paid. PERIOD

    And how were they just trying to do their jobs? They pulled someone over for not signaling while changing lanes? Crimes are being committed and you have time to spend on this. No they saw an expensive car and at least felt they could get some money if a person can drive that type of car around.

    I don't know the full situation of what all he or the officer said. Policemen are just as arrogant. Probably deserved it because they made comments in the same vein as the poster above me.

    You guys act like he killed someone.

    Wow. What an idiot.

    If it were even possible, perhaps the government shutdown should target people like him instead of our military folk (and their families) as well as the other people who are employed by the government. You know – all the people who don't get paid millions of dollars to play nationally broadcast games, sign autographs, buy several fancy cars and homes, and generally disrespect those "below" them who are trying to do their job.

    I'd love to see those yearly incomes cut to less than $60,000 a year. Cut to something less than the average nurse at a local hospital earns. Cut to something less than what a soldier in the field earns. Cut to something less than a police officer, EMT/Paramedic, or a firefighter makes. People who put their lives on the line to protect the lives/livelihoods/quality of life of others… they should make more money. They shouldn't be the ones made to suffer when crap like what's going down in congress happens.

    Be real careful A.I.,you will end up just like everyone else that comes to Georgia! This place has a terrible reputation for Incarcerating their citizens.Especially Black Men,young and old!! Georgia is notorious for not using good sound judgement and common sense! They lack the knowledge to think,before reaction….The old lock-em-up and throw away the key mentality, is exercised first and formost. Georgia needs to change their old way of thinking,and focus more on HUMANITARIAN EFFORTS!
