"Bad Moon" Arrested After Bad Night Drinkin'

Andre RisonFormer NFL star receiver Andre "Bad Moon" Risen was arrested in San Antonio early this morning after cops say he was a drunken mess in public.

Sources close to the situation claim Rison -- who famously dated Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes back in the day -- arrived to the Crown Plaza Hotel with a friend around 2 AM and caused a scene when they learned the local bars had closed.

We're told the two then began to act "rambunctious" in the lobby and cops had to be called.

Once police arrived and determined Risen and his pal were intoxicated enough to be a danger to themselves and the public, the two were arrested. Both were fined $85 and released when they sobered up and saw a judge.

And get this -- after he was released, Risen hung around the jail to sign a few autographs.

4. It's Rison, not Risen. Pretty basic fact to screw up multiple times.

5. ..and if it was police/correctional officers asking for his autograph, then at best, these people should be benched so-to-speak as obviously they are not taking their jobs too seriously. Meanwhile, can we assume there were no other reports of crime while our autograph seekers were otherwise pre-occupied while on the clock at the tax payer's expense? Shame on the SAPD!!

10. Went to school with him and his whole family. Don't know why he can't get some act right in him.

By the way, his name is spelled RISON.

Get it right.
