The star of the National Basketball Association, the defender of the Philadelphia 76 team Allen Iverson will soon appear to court, reports AP. The city of Philadelphia has accused the most effective NBA player last season of illegally penetrating private property, attack, threat of reprisal and illegal wearing of firearms. If the player is found guilty of all four points of the prosecution, then he faces the term of imprisonment of up to 54 years.
Iverson was ordered not to leave the limits of his mansion, which is located in the suburb of Philadelphia, until Tuesday inclusive, until his lawyer returned from Europe, and the basketball player will not be able to surrender to the authorities. “If before this time he violates house arrest, he will be seen in the street or party, he will be immediately arrested,” said Sylvester Johnson, the Philadelphia Police Commissioner.
On the night of July 2 to 3, Allen Iverson, together with his 39-year-old uncle, Gregory Iverson, broke into the apartment of the cousin of the basketball player Sean, who is located in one of the residential quarters of the city of Cobbs Creek Court. The fact is that the defender of the Philadelphia 76 team was looking for his wife Tivenna, whom he, a day earlier, spent a naked out of the house after a two -day quarrel. Without finding in the apartment, neither his spouse, nor cousin, Iverson in a rude uniform tried to find out their whereabouts from the cohabitant Sean, 21-year-old Charles Jones. According to the latter, Iverson threatened him with reprisals for quite some time, and several times pointed to the Bolshoi Black Pistol on his belt.
For Iverson, this is not the first case of discreasures with the law: in 1993, he spent four months in prison for participating in a fight, and in 1997 an unregistered gun and two cigarettes with marijuana were found in his car. In the 2000-2001 season, NBA Allen Iverson was recognized as the most valuable player in the association, and brought his team to the NBA final for the first time in 18 years.
