A back-up forward for the Los Angeles Lakers (http://topics.nola.com/tag/new%20orleans%20hornets%20vs.%20los%20angeles%20la kers/index.html) basketball team was arrested and jailed early Sunday for hitting a pregnant waitress at a downtown International House of Pancakes while drunk, according to police.

Derrick Caracter (http://www.nba.com/playerfile/derrick_caracter/index.html?nav=page), 22, was arrested about 1:18 a.m. Sunday at the IHOP in the 800 block of Canal Street, said New Orleans Police spokeswoman Shereese Harper.
Caracter, a 6-foot-9 forward who was in New Orleans for the playoffs series, was drunk and acting disorderly inside the restaurant, police said.
He "started grabbing and pulling" a pregnant waitress, prompting the manager to go outside and flag down a police officer, Harper said. The female officer tried to defuse the situation, Harper said, but Caracter remained obstinate. The officer arrested him.
He was handcuffed and taken to Orleans Parish jail and booked with one count of battery for hitting the waitress, as well as one count each of public intoxication and resisting arrest. Each charge is a municipal violation, police said.
Records show Caracter was released from jail, but it is unclear when his bond was posted.
The incident took place near the Lakers' hotel on a night in which there was no game. On Sunday night, the Hornets beat the Lakers and evened the playoff series at two games apiece. Caracter, a rookie, did not play.
The teams meet again Tuesday night in Los Angeles.
A manager at IHOP was aware of the incident but declined to comment Monday morning.

[Ashy Larry]

you haven't lived until you've been arrested in New Orleans ........

[ElNono]

Sons, what else is there to do in NOLA other than being drunk, eating at IHOP and beating on pregnant women?

[Cry Havoc]

You should go there before you knock it. Tons of bad ass chics. Although I know you not into that sort of thing. Lol

Yeah, it's awesome until you levitate them with your mind and then knock them out with a flaming dragon punch that causes a hurricane. :lmao

Yeah, bad ass chicks digging asian Naruto fans... sounds just like NOLA... :lol

[Venti Quattro]

:lmao Caracter

:lmao Couldn't get playing time so just get some jail time

[Cry Havoc]

I'm 100% positive you know exactly what that means. Keep showing your hand, idiot.

:lmao

[easy7]

If you can't beat their team beat their pregnant women... Just a bench player showing phil what he can do to CP3 if he sends him in.

[Banzai]

eventually this would be posted here..all the haters looking for Laker news daily. Also..I do know this is a Spurs talk not Laker talk. So the hate is natural.

[The Gemini Method]

Not a whole lot of Character shown by Caracter, but it isn't surprising based on how he acted in Louisville and NM State.

Spurfans took over the Lakers vs Hornets game 4 thread, at this point are you still really baffled

[Cry Havoc]

You gotta wonder what's going through his mind when he does something like this. I mean, how do you rationalize that in any way as a good idea?

Unfortunately, he's not the first and he won't be the last. I don't know a person's reasoning behind the abuse of a woman that's carrying, nor do I understand how some pregnant women can still smoke or drink and not give a damn when they know and have been told that it is detrimental to their kids' health. The human race knows no bounds for idiotic behavior and what Derrick did should not be tolerated by the Lakers brass.

Please, you know if a scrub on the Spurs did something like this lakerfan would be all over it.

If a Spurs player did this I would want him off the team.

Lakers are done...Kobe's on crutches

[Banzai]

Most likely. I do agree though that what Caracter did was wrong..and he should be punished accordingly.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

I guess he's just a bad Caracter.

[Sportcamper]

Even if Character was able to get the charges dropped he is done in LA…It doesn’t matter who you are, The Lakers don’t tolerate this kind of stuff…:nerd

[Mugen]

Pretty much par for the course for Caracter. I'm just surprised it wasn't Matt Barnes.

He seems like the type of guy that beats pregos on the regular.

[21_Blessings]

Lakers are done...Kobe's on crutches

Never stopped him before. He's not Manu.

Kobe plays better and more focused when he's hurt. Lakers in 6.

[BRHornet45]

sons typical Laker trash

[Lefty's understudy]

Looks like the lakers have Caracter issues.

[Banzai]

sons typical Laker trash

Son, I agree Caracter is pretty trashy for hitting a woman.

[crc21209]

:lol Fucking Lakers....

[crc21209]

That front-office really knows how to pick em'....:tu :lol

[Cane]

Phil Jackson has to deal with that kind of shit on his farewell tour? :depressed

[ElNono]

Never stopped him before. He's not Manu.

Why would a Rocketfan care about Manu?


Kobe plays better and more focused when he's hurt. Lakers in 6.

:rolleyes

[Pero]

Never stopped him before. He's not Manu.


Exactly. Kobe actually does fake his injuries. It's good to know Laker fans agree on this.

[ElNono]

sons typical Laker trash

son, they trash their own place, of course they're trash...

[DMC]

It seems the Lakers actually lack Caracter also now, while before they only lacked character.

[The Gemini Method]

Get it right, you idiot. It's not even our 'own' place!! ! 1!

It's okay. New Orleans needs to stop breeding babies if they're only going to end up being like BR and the Manning bros.

[LnGrrrR]

Sons, what else is there to do in NOLA other than being drunk, eating at IHOP and beating on pregnant women?

There's more to do in NOLA than San Antonio.

[The Gemini Method]

I wouldn't know. They don't allow us to leave the barrios of L.A. that often to find out. :cry

[Bill_Brasky]

True. Especially BR...

You can loop on 410 all day long... nothing close to that in NOLA, tbh :lol

:lol The 410 loop sucks, excepting Ingram mall, which used to have a cool comics shop, and the Quarry... Or is that on 1604?

Anyways, New Orleans kicks ass.

Pre or Post Katrina?

[LnGrrrR]

Pre or Post Katrina?

Both, if you exclude the first six months or so after Katrina. Bourbon St was more or less up by Christmas (Canal was still messed up). It was pretty depressing driving the I-10 seeing all the houses without roofs.

A few things have changed (the psychics moved near the church, for one) but it's mostly the same ol' N'awlins to my eyes.

[redzero]

I've been to San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston. San Antonio has Fiesta Texas, which is pretty badass.

[Seventyniner]

and the Quarry... Or is that on 1604?

Nah, the Quarry is inside loop 410, a few miles north of downtown on 281.

[LnGrrrR]

Ah, thought so, but I haven't lived in San Antonio for 6 years or so now. Thanks! :toast

Was probing to see if someone was going to use the play on words.
