According to authorities, police were called to the scene after a security guard spotted a man taking a gun out of the trunk of his car in the club’s parking lot.
Appling was driving a royal blue Dodge Challenger but said police told him they were looking for a black Charger. So his lawyers are challenging the search because, well, someone didn’t know the difference between a Challenger and a Charger. I love cars and I still mix them up.
Anyway, the former Spartan is facing a slew of charges included carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a loaded firearm in a vehicle and, just for fun, possession of marijuana.
Honorable mention:
Josh Ravin — The former Dayton Dragons pitcher, now with the Dodgers organization, was suspended 80 games after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. He had a pitching record of 7-22 in parts of three seasons with Dayton (2008-2010), so I can see why he might have been tempted to take PEDs. Ravin started this season on the disabled list after breaking his forearm in a car accident in February.
Jaleel Cousins — The brother of NBA star DeMarcus Cousins was Tasered and arrested this week in the aftermath of a fight at a Tampa, Fla., club. A melee at The Drynk SoHo got ugly and security got involved. Jaleel is a former basketball player at the University of South Florida.
