Paul Pierce Takes Taxi Home From Field Sobriety Test
From the Las Vegas Review-Journal…
The Boston Celtics’ Paul Pierce, the most valuable player in the 2008 NBA Finals, was handcuffed by Las Vegas police early Sunday after he was initially uncooperative following a traffic stop for driving erratically on the Strip.
The traffic stop occurred around 3 a.m. near Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue, Cassell said.
Officers gave Pierce field sobriety tests, which often take up to an hour, he said.
A Breathalyzer showed Pierce registered below the 0.08 level that defines legal intoxication in Nevada.
Pierce did not drive the car after he was stopped.
“He made a decision to have one of the valets park his car for the night,” Cassell said.
Police did not cite Pierce for a traffic infraction.
This is as much non-news as it was a non-arrest. Maybe if Pierce had pulled the old “Do you know who I am?” line, or was driving erratically because he was getting road head from a 5 diamond hooker I’d care, but I don’t.
