SHackleford Arrested!

http://www.jsonline.com/watch/?watch=1&date=7/6/2006&id=8135

Milwaukee police arrested Cincinnati Reds pitcher Brian W. Shackelford on suspicion of third-degree sexual assault early this morning, said Anne E. Schwartz, police spokeswoman.

Shackelford, 29, whose address was listed as his hometown of McAlester, Okla., was arrested at 12:15 a.m. at Miller Park, the police arrest log says. He was in the jail at police headquarters downtown this morning.

Details of the allegations against Shackelford were not released.

"Because it is an on-going criminal investigation, I cannot comment further," Schwartz said.

Shackelford, a left-handed middle reliever, was called up to the major leagues by the Reds in June 2005. On Wednesday night, he pitched to one batter in the bottom of the 12th inning, striking out Prince Fielder. He was arrested after the 13-inning game. The Reds left town after the game and play in Atlanta tonight.

Maybe he was
hanging out with Chris Perry when the Bengals players came down for batting practice. Sexual assault? That's f*#$ed up.

You guys sure...
He wasn't arrested for bad pitching?

Oh wait.  If that were the case, the entire bullpen would have gotten arrested, along with Brandon Claussen and Joe Mays.

Eric Milton would get a warning.

Don't mind me...just pitching to contact, that's all...

really
does that mean the statute of limitations is up on last season already?

The part I don't get
is that he was AT MILLER PARK when he was arrested.  What in the world was he doing?  Trying to get it on with a fan and then he ends up assulting/raping her?  What is the world coming to?

simple answer
either his card didn't clear or his check bounced.

That or..
He got the keys to the Clinton Room. It's much nicer than the storeroom of a concession stand.

Ok I am sorry
I don't want an army of womens libbers tracking me down.

It probably happened earlier, like Monday or Tuesday, and the Milwaukee Police waited until the Reds were on their way out of town.

i guess that makes sense
i guess we'll have to wait until the full story comes out...

generally speaking
It has been my experience with these types of cases that they are rarely filed immediately. Unless they have several witnesses who are willing to come forward. I'm sure we will hear more on this story today.

Have the Reds suspended him or made a statement? This is a lot like the situation with the Phillies pitcher who beat his wife recently. For the good of the player he needs to be sat down.

statement
a pretty standard no comment we don't condone statement on the reds site.

by Blue on Jul 6, 2006 12:46 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Suspension
The Reds can't suspend him due to the agreement with the Players association.  They have to get Shackelford to agree to be optioned to the minors, and that is about the only choice they have right now.

Last night...
I noticed towards the end of the telecast that a shot was shown of Narron talking to Shack in the dugout after most had already headed into the clubhouse. Shack looked a little wide eyed.

Maybe Narron was passing the news that he was going to get sent up.

Why Match.com?
Honestly! I can kinda see it for common people, but a proffessional player?! Stupid!

Can we cut him based on that?
so we can't cut him for getting arrested, but we can cut him for having a Match.com profile, right?

Shack
Makes me wonder how RHM knew to call him "Love" Shackelford.  Anybody do a search to see if she's registered at Match.com?

He,he..
No, can't be. She'd have been in here after their first night together bragging about it.

unbelievable
A) what is up with all these professional atheletes and all of these allegations of rape, molestation, posession of drugs or weapons, DUI's, etc.  They're giving athletes a bad rep.

B) is it that hard to meet someone as a professional athlete that you have to post yourself on match.com

C) Don't you know what you're getting urself into when you go to summerfest...let me fill you in, shack, you go, get wasted beyond belief, and then attempt to attend as many drunken concerts as possible.....with a few drunken sexcapades in between.....except,  you're a pro athlete, you can participate in these things bc the whole world and their kids are watching you.

D) what is up with all of these young, cocky, and rich 20-something athletes that are coming up today thinking they can run around acting like idiots and take advantage of the system.  You can only get away with so much.  Do they not appreciate where they are and what they're doing?  Do you see Lebron not owning up to his kid or running around acting like an idiot?  Come on, the boy is a BOY and we have these almost 30 year-old guys running around getting DUI and rape charges pinned against them.  Be a professional or get out of your profession

And Lastly, it seems as though professional athletes forget that they have picked this life (may i remind them, a life of millions of dollars and playing games as their job), and they need to remember that millions of children are looking to them and are wanting to be just like them someday.....its time's like these that I really respect Ken Griffey Junior.....the man in a saint in my book and I've watched him grow up as a respectful pro baseball player since i was a kid.....hell yeah griffey!

rape charges
So far he hasn't been charged with anything.  I don't know if he is innocent or guilty of anything, but the possibility is still there that he didn't do anything inappropriate between two consensual adults.  It's not uncommon for people to try to take advantage of "celebrity" encounters.  I hope, for the sake of everyone involved, that is all it is.

As for the post on match.com, it sounds like he isn't exactly into the normal relationship kind of stuff.  If you like getting freaky, then the internet is a pretty good place to start to find someone else with your interests.  At least, that's what I hear.

Freaky
Nah, red-hot-mama.com only sounds like porn.  Turns out there isn't any porn on the entire site.  I was very disappointed.

Can you say "stupid"?!
Nobody said you had to be smart to be a professional ballplayer. But doesn't MLB do an orientation for rookies where they clue them in on all the pitfalls? Doesn't mean you take it to heart I guess. I'm a little surprised there are no teammates who took him under their wings.
