Coin hit Iverson during playoff game

Associated Press

ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. -- A Pistons fan pleaded guilty to throwing a quarter that hit Allen Iverson during a Detroit-Philadelphia playoff game in April.

Dennis Pauley, 31, of the Detroit suburb of Taylor, faces up to three months in jail and a $500 fine when sentenced Sept. 1 for the city ordinance violation. He pleaded guilty Wednesday to throwing an object onto a playing surface, the court said Thursday.

The judge dismissed a second charge against Pauley -- a city ordinance of occupying an arena seat without permission -- at the request of the prosecutor for the city of Auburn Hills, where The Palace of Auburn Hills is located.

Police said Pauley tossed the quarter late in the fourth quarter after he and a friend moved to better seats.
