Williams, Sean
Charge: Trespass
Arrest Date: February 15, 2009
Franchise: New Jersey Nets
Age 22
Details: Williams was arrested after showing up a game at Boston College where the BC Eagles were playing Duke. Apparently, Williams had a no-trespassing order against him, banning him from being on campus, likely stemming from his troubled time as a student athlete at BC before being dismissed from the school. He was allegedly belligerent to arresting officers, berating them and writing obscenities instead of his name on documents he was to sign. He would again be arrested in another bizarre case about a month later for smashing a computer during an argument at an electronics store.
