Denver Nuggets star forward Carmelo Anthony was arrested on Monday morning on suspicion of drunk-driving, hours after his worst game of the season.
Denver police stated that Anthony was driving south on Interstate 25 at around 4 a.m. when he was pulled over and taken into custody. Investigators said he was driving a silver Mercedes that was stopped for failing to drive in a single lane and failing to dim lights.
“Carmelo was pulled over late Sunday night on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol,” said Anthony’s lawyer Dan Recht in a statement.
“He co-operated by consenting to a blood test, the results of which will not be available for approximately two weeks. There was no accident and no one was hurt. Like anyone in a similar situation, Carmelo has to wait for the results of his blood test. He regrets putting himself in this situation.”
Anthony was released on bond on Monday morning on his own recognizance. A summons appearance was scheduled for May 14.
“We are aware of the situation involving Carmelo Anthony,” said Nuggets vice president of basketball operations Mark Warkentien in a prepared statement. “We are currently gathering information and we will have no further comment at this time.”
damned alkie
That’s interesting. The Nuggets are in a playoff race. I wonder if he’ll be suspended.
well thats a damn shame…smh
Bad Melo
SMH, PATHEIC…. TO SAY THE LEAST!!!
*PATHETIC*
If he is guilty then he should be punished like every other drunken moron. These people are reckless, selfish, and cause death. I despise everyone who drives under the influence of drugs or alcohol who act as if human lives are not worth anything. Fortunately he did not murder anyone with this act.
You can’t win them all. This is why they can not solidify the 8th seed in the playoffs. No focus what so ever
It’s that damn LaLa’s fault he played a bad game! Probably makin’ him get up with that baby at night. She don’t do s–t, she need to be doing E’ERTHANG!! Now he’s been driven to drink. Classic downtrottin story!! Keep your head up Melo!
Sad.
IF HE WAS DRUNK OR EVEN HAD A LITTLE ALCOHOL IN HIM, IT’S A GOOD THING NOBODY GOT INJURED OR WORSE…
LMAO! @ #8
My type of role model…
Ummmmmmmm, get a driver you lame!
Way to give more ammo for the argument on stupid choices by black athletes, way do people with money choose to do stupid stuff like this.
This guy at my school went to High School with him and said he cant read. Maybe he doesnt know the laws??
Foreal tho people are letting drugs and alcohol dictate their lives. They cannot handle life without the stimulation. This shit destroys family. Incest, neglect and other atrocities are often accompanied with alcohol or drugs.
I’m a real estate agent in the worst city to be an agent(Cleveland)and if I can rent a limo on the regular,why can’t he.No excuse for a multi-millionaire driving effed up.
DUM DUM DA DUM DUM! This cat has the world on a string! But continues to do DUMB SHIT!
he’s innocent until proven guilty….
im tired of this nigga here and he is just that… a NIGGA!!!! melo you use to be so cute to me and melted my heart whenever i saw you but now, not so much smh
Angel, why are the words cut off on CL. What’s going on???
Fucking up… how much money do you have ? How blessed are you ? How hard have you worked to get to were you are ? Stop being stupid.
wow @ the comments! Glad no one was hurt in his poor decision making on that evening.
I AM SO GLAD JUST ABOUT EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS THE RESULTS OF HIS BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL. THIS IS STILL AMERICA, HE’S INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
mane melo…come on now. you got a kid now…you cant be acting crazy mane. especially not in no place like Colorado. smh
We all make mistakes. His, however will be played out in the media….another brother will be dissed. Where was LaLa? I guess someone has to stay sober and take care of the baby. I’m just glad he wasn’t with some other woman. I hope he pays his dues like an other person would have too…..
..no surprise
Celebrating too early, you haven’t won that playoff spot yet. GO WARRIORRRRSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ya digggg!!!
GO MEMPHIS! BEAT DENVER. upset in the making.
Melo I was just reading how he resigned his Brand Jordan deal and how he was changing his image. I hope is not a set back for him.

uhh…. so? Sure its bad but? He’s 1 out of a million of em… Nothing to see here. Drunk is the new sober… Next!
Yo this better not mess up Denver’s chance of making the playoffs he better be playing vs memphis on wed cause we cannot let the Warriors just step up behind us. Honestly i don’t care weather he gets convicted or not just why why why couldn’t he of done this mess in the post season!?!?? GO DENVER!
dang VoluptuousDiva74… how do you know all that???
now melo, c’mon man… stop adding your self to the list of brothers making idiotic moves for no reason… how much are you worth again??? right… get a driver, call a friend… call Lala, do something, but don’t drive under the influence… hold ya head son.
p.s.
you know he’s about to be dragged through the mud by the media, they are going to do him hella dirty…. bill o’reilly might even call him a pin head =] [don't laugh, it's not funny]
:i agree:
um i am a huge melo fan and I just think that Carmelo is still very young… he needs to grow up and take responsibility for his actions and he needs to THINK about what he was doing IF he was indeed DRUNK… but otherwise who knows what happened. and um diva74 i agree La La is bad news. Never liked the chick. but hey thats just me.
Wow, I saw that game last nite. He sucked. He probably needed to toss back a couple of drinks to live down playn like he’s not a professional. Luckily A.I. Is on his team! If it weren’t for A.I. And JR Smith Denver definitely wouldn’t have pulled off the win. A.I. Even blocked a shot last nite! He was all over the court!
@ #8
I COULDNT AGREE W/U MORE. DAT BYTCH AINT BEEN NUFFIN BUT PROBLEMS SINCE HE GOT WIT HER. WHY SHE STILL STICKING AROUND IS A GUESS 4 ME CAUSE HE AINT GON MARRY YA AZZ
you see how when you don’t have basic intellectual skills or the education that goes w/ being gifted, w/ a talent that makes you rich beyond your dreams. we black people of the arrogant ilk get stuck on stupid and can’t handle it or don’t have the know how to handle the sucess. i have to agree w/ clarence thomas. YOU HAVE TO FIRST MASTER THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE in school first so you can comprehend express and know how to deal w/ self and lifes challenges or you won’t know how to cope deal w/ and express yourself in dealing w/ the system. so we have MENTAL BREAKDOWNS SUCH AS THIS. the avg educational mentality of blacks is 10 grade and i’am being generous. and if this is where you stop and this where your mind stops. the trick is on us this is why when we get rich we get stuck on stupid also . and the white man is setting back his mouth running water wait’n for us ignorant less educated blacks to fall in your own trap suckers. i say the white man because he is the COMMON DENONMINATOR. ITS HIS STAGE so just keep putt’n on the show black folks. its SHOWTIME. why don’t you wake up and realize this system has geared you for failure now straghten ya ass or acts up.
What a idiot
yall are buggin’. okay, he got a dui. i guess he is human after all. thank God, out of all the times i’ve driven home either tipsy or a lil drunk from the club, i havent been pulled over. yall badmouthing him like yall are saints. he aint tracy morgan with an alcohol problem. he went out after a bad game and had a few drinks to calm his nerves. big deal. i mean, yeah, he couldve gotten some one hurt. true that, but shit, he is human, and he has his vices. get off his dick cause yall aint rich. i dont do drugs and i dont drink heavy, but if i was rich, i’d be dabbling a lil bit. toast is up to success.
in the words of the powerful poet Clay Davis from The Wire, “Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!”
go ‘head Melo. Tell all them haters “Yahhhhhh, trick, yahhhhhhhhh! Get out my face!”
i saw that game. yeah, i’d drink too! LOL – JUST KIDDING!!!
that’s pretty sad. i can’t have any sympathy. drunk driving is on the same lines of any other crime. you cause great danger to others. and yourself.
FYI: DUI’s ain’t NO JOKE!!!
a 4th DUI = FELONY = SERIOUS JAIL TIME!!!
trust me.
That’s a damn shame
*shakes head*
I know LA LA is glad that he wasn’t arrested over some dumb sh#%. Whewww that was close..
YOU HAVE A FAMILY, YOU IRRESPONSIBLE IDIOT. TRY ACTING LIKE A FATHER AND HUSBAND!
THESE STUPID ATHLETES DRIVE ME INSANE!
I’m shocked, but I’m glad no one was hurt.
Completely off topic: his mug is sexy (okay let me quit)
FUCK HIM. THE LAKERS WILL BE THE CHAMPS!! LA IS UP IN THIS MUTHA FUCKA BITCHEEEEZ!!
Ugh I hate Carmelo. What a loser. Your team is on their way to the playoffs and you get arrested. Grow up. I say the number 8 spot should’ve went to the WARRIORS!
IM VERY SURPRISED HOW U GUYS COMMENTED. THERE IS ALSO THE HIGH LIKELIHOOD THAT THESE WERE RACIST COPS JUST STOPPING ANYONE BLACK ESP WHEN THERE IS NO PROOF THAT HE WAS ACTUALLY DRUNK…..
AND WITH OUT TAKING A LIE DETECTOR TEST AND HE WAS NOT VISIBLY INEBRIATED CASE WILL BE DISMISSED
THESE COPS DO ANYTHING TO FUCK WITH US!
DONT BELIEVE ALL MEDIA PEOPLE!
Someone saw his profile with some photos on black white kiss DOT co m, where celebrities and wealthy singles hook up. He feels lonely, doesn’t he?
wow..seemed like he was doing good in life too…lala must’ve been buggin out when she heard
Melo look a hot mess in that pic.
Ol drunk!!!
lmao
He is funny looking! UGH! Not cute!
I hate drunk drivers with a passion.
They should give drunk drivers their own lane. One lane going both ways!
I’m sorry but in that picture he looks like he’s been drinking,people treat drinking and driving like it’s nothing. A few months back on Oprah they had this woman on, her sister had just gotten married,the woman her husband and children were on their way home from the reception in a limo ,when a drunk driver on the wrong side of the highway smashed head on to the limo.The chauffer was instantly killed,and the womans six year old daughter was decapitated and her head fell in onto mothers lap during the accident. That shit gave me chills,no one should drink and drive you could kill not only yourself,but an innocent bystander,it’s not cool and it’s stupid.
#56…..i couldn’t have said it better myself!
i mean, really- how do you explain ish like this to your kids?
be.forreal.
Damn Mello! He’s still a young cat and he has a huge fan base under the age of 14. Lets get it together man…….
……lala must be getting on his nerve about marriage and the baby heard she may be preggers again …. you never no wats bothering him to make him drink and drive but i know a cure….. lock up lolol… git it together mello your one of the lucky ones ……… now is not the time to be fucking up lolol
