Jayson Williams Arrested for Unloading on a Guy

Jayson WilliamsFormer New Jersey Nets star Jayson Williams is in trouble yet again -- he was arrested in North Carolina early this morning for allegedly serving a guy a knuckle sandwich in a late night bar fight.

Cops say Williams was popped around 2 AM for assault after he allegedly socked some dude in the face in front of a nightclub in Raleigh. Williams was later released on $1,000 bond.

Go back to April, when the troubled former NBA star was tasered by cops after he allegedly tore up a hotel room in Manhattan...

...And lest we forget, Jayson is also still facing a reckless manslaughter charge for the shooting death of his limo driver back in 2002.

4. Considering all the stupid, lawbreaking stuff Williams has done, I am amazed he is not spending the next decade in jail. At what point will the music stop for this nut case?

8. Another one of the Black Communities success stories - - - Why doesn't their Savior OBAMA help solve the problems of the black community - violence, drugs, single mothers, absent fathers, welfare and the arrogance and entitlement attitude. Lock a brother up day.

9. to #8, Obama is the least of this loser's problems. This a hole could have bought and sold many of us.. he had too much money, and liked guns way too much. Apparently there are some mental health issues as well, since he pretty much narcasistacally lied his way through that whole trial when he point black killed his driver... and STILL got off. This has nothing to do with Obama..If you want to get technical, have sex but use a condom. That's how criminals like this come to life.

10. What you are seeing, is williams coming unhinged due to the fact he shot his driver gus in the face (killing him), then covered it up and lied ti investigators. This pos will be haunted for life and rightly so.

12. Some people think just because they have money that they're above the law. Jayson Williams is a prime example. Wasted Talent

13. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING TO HIM AS USUALLY. THAT IS WHY THEY STAY THEIR ASS IN TROUBLE. THESE SPORTS FIGURES THINK THEY ARE THE HEROES OF THIS COUTRY WHEN THEY ARE NOT ANYTHING AND CAN DO NO WRONG. THE REST OF THE COUNTRIES ARE SO STUPID AND LET THEM DO ANYTHING THEY WANT FOR MOST OF THEM ARE TO DAMN DUMB TO DO ANYTHING BUT RUN OR BOUNCE A BALL. I AM GLAD THEY CAN DO THAT FOR IF THEY COULD NOT, WE WOULD HAVE THEM ON WELFARE AND HAVE TO FEED THEIR SORRY ASSES.

14. As you are aware, My Jayson, Jayson Scott Williams is on trial for the accidental shooting of Mr. Costas Christofi. We are forever remorseful for the loss of life that occured in our home. Our sympathy deepens for the family and friends of Mr. Christofi and for every person's life that has been affected by this accident. We are truly sorry for the unforseeable accident that occured on Feb. 14, 2002.

Many of you have been angered by the false allegations and misrepresentations levied against my husband - it angers me too. Yet I know that these lies, innuendoes and distortions shall be eradicated through our trial and I will allow our attorneys to appropriately do this.

However, the slanderous and inflammatory character assaults agains Jayson cannot be fully corrected by anyone other than me - his wife. Jayson is an amazing man, whom I love dearly. He is a great father, a caring son and a loyal friend. He is generous to a fault. His charitable works are too many to mention and many are only known by the people he has touched with his kindness. Jayson gives of his time, talent & resources because it makes him feel as good as the recipients. Jayson loves life, he loves people, he loves to laugh and sometimes he cries - but most importantly, Jayson loves God. He is a God-fearing man, and through our trials and tribulations walks closer to God than he ever has before. This is My Jayson Williams.
