Former NBA star Allen Iverson has mixed it up with police once again.
This time, Iverson, the passenger in a gray Lamborghini, didn’t appreciate being pulled over in Atlanta recently and berated police with a “do you know who I am?” diatribe for well over 20 minutes.
The driver, A.I.’s homeboy Antwan Clisby, was pulled over because he didn’t signal during a lane change, according to police reports.
This is what happened next, according to CNN:
Clisby couldn’t produce any documentation for the vehicle, the report said. He then told the officer his passenger needed to leave the vehicle to eat dinner, and the officer said no one was leaving until the investigation was complete.
With that, Iverson became “irate,” according to the police report, saying, “I’m the (expletive) passenger.” The officer radioed for backup, and a second unit arrived. Clisby and Iverson were asked to exit the vehicle, while Iverson continued to curse at the officer, the report said.
The car belonged to A.I. but the tags had expired two years ago prompting police alert Iverson that the sports car would be towed.
That’s when A.I. reportedly continued his tirade as documented by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: “Take the vehicle, I have 10 more,” he reportedly told Durham. “Police don’t have anything else [expletive] to do except [expletive] with me. … Do you know who I am?”
For the next 20 minutes, according to the officer, Iverson “went on and on” about who he was.
“I stated to Mr. Iverson, it really doesn’t matter who you are,” Durham wrote. “You tried to conceal your vehicle with a fake drive-out tag due to you not paying for your tags.”
Apparently the tag fee on a Lambo is kind of pricey. Clisby, Iverson’s driver, responded: “Would you want to pay $10,000 for a tag?”
In the end the car was towed and later the former Sixers MVP apologized to the police department stating that he was just upset about his vehicle, according to the report.
