BOSTON -- Boston Celtics player Gabe Pruitt was arrested Thursday morning in California on suspicion of operating a car under the influence, according to the Web site TMZ.com. Pruitt, a guard with the team, was pulled over around 3:15 a.m. in the Hollywood area. Pruitt failed a field sobriety test and had a blood alcohol level well over the legal limit, TMZ.com reported. Pruitt was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence. His bail was set at $5,000.
A traffic officer spotted Pruitt's Mercedes S550 sedan and another car stopped at a green light at Sunset Boulevard and Wilcox Avenue, a few blocks from the LAPD's Hollywood station, about 3 a.m., said Officer Julianne Sohn.
The two drivers were having a conversation, Sohn said.
"The officer did a field sobriety test and determined that Pruitt should be arrested for a DUI," Sohn said.
Pruitt, 22, was booked on a misdemeanor charge, with bail set at $5,000.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's website indicated he was released about 8:30 a.m. (11:30am EST)

come on Gabe.
that’s ridiculous. so dumb.
When Perk was asked what he thought of Howard winning the gold medal this summer, he responded: "What’s his impression of me after I won a ring?"

I would want to get drunk too
If I just lost a game to the Clippers and Starbury was coming to mess up my career. But I probably wouldn’t have actually done it. And if I did I probably would have taken a cab.
Sigh This isn’t what we meant by “Free Gabe”, Gabe.

Really Stupid
But I guess I was wondering why they didn’t catch the red-eye home?
Nevertheless, very stupid on his part if he’s trying to get in Doc’s good favor.

Don't they fly home right after the game?
His next team will be on the Vin Baker YMCA team.

How is marbury causing trouble? wow
we know little to nothing about gabe, he could do this all the time for all we know, he was barely getting minutes regardless of marbury…really this is ridicolous thinking

from Yahoo
Harding says records showed that Pruitt had not yet posted his $5,000 bail.
Does that mean he’s still in jail?

probably
I guess Marbury will be seeing court time sooner than expected :-P
by Greg on Feb 26, 2009 10:49 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
And Pruit may be seeing a little different court time.
Too bad.

Too bad we can't move Casperian's from above comment down here...

so that’s why he is always smiling. Well, now at least he has something to chat with Charles Barkley about.
by jurrasicearl on Feb 26, 2009 11:16 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
so dumb, but so common. He’s human, and made a mistake that thousands of Americans make every year, and that’s only counting the ones that get caught (which probably amounts to 1% of the total).

Dont forget – Gabe went to USC, so he was sure to have been hanging out with his homies

That's what we get...
..for not having Scal on the trip to keep an eye on the kids. Let’s keep him off the court till he’s recovered—but get him back on the road for chaperone duty!

Roster Spot for Smith
Now in case Smith is cut, they have an extra roster spot.

Really dumb, Gabe
With Marbury coming here and now this, he is going to see very little time on a basketball court.
by greenwise on Feb 26, 2009 1:02 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Kinda like the last 2 years, seeing very little time on the basketball court

Gabe
As far as we know it was his first offense. He is young. Give him a break. After all, Marbury has been screwing up for years and we are giving him a break…
Maybe we should all be banned after our first questionable post? I wouldn’t have lasted a week, lol.

Banning for questionable posts?
Don’t give the rest of the staff any ideas. ;-)
