While Dallas Mavericks guard Darrell Armstrong seeks the ring that would come with an NBA championship, his wife is just happy to have her missing wedding ring returned. Dallas Mavericks guard Darrell Armstrong and his wife, Deidra, were both on a quest for a ring this week.
For Mr. Armstrong, it was the ring that comes with an eventual NBA championship.
For his wife, it was something far more personal – her wedding ring.
While the Mavericks recovered from their Game 1 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, University Park resident Sally Davis was parking in front of the CVS pharmacy in Snider Plaza on Monday. She spotted something shiny outside the pharmacy. It was a multicarat diamond wedding ring.
When no one in the pharmacy claimed it, Mrs. Davis went to University Park police.
"The human part of me wanted to keep it," said Mrs. Davis, who has three children. "But the other part of me, I just knew I had to honor God and do the right thing. I had to go straight to the Police Department. It was too much of a temptation."
Her good deed paid off when Mrs. Armstrong called to inquire about the ring. Mrs. Davis had left her name and number at the pharmacy in case anybody called asking about it.
"She calls me, and we're both really guarded because she didn't want to say what she'd lost, and I didn't want to say what I'd found," Mrs. Davis said. "So, she sends her husband off to the police station."
The next conversation between the two women was a little more relaxed.
Mrs. Armstrong offered thanks – and tickets for the family of five to the Mavericks-Spurs playoff series. :smokin Mr. Armstrong is also going to autograph a jersey for Mrs. Davis' son, a football player at Highland Park High School.
"You're just blessed to have people who are honest in this world," Mr. Armstrong said. "Rich or poor, it doesn't matter; it's just amazing that you have so many honest folks."
Though Mrs. Davis said she hoped nobody would claim the ring, she's glad it's back where it belongs.
"I knew the ring was valuable the moment I saw it and that the owner would be heartbroken without it," she said.
