Suicidal Ex-NBA Star,Jayson Williams, Was Stunned By A Taser Gun & Hospitalized!
Jayson William's life is apparently on a continuous downward spiral.His wife filed for divorce & he has an alleged drug problem. And after his legal woes in 2004,Jayson Williams is still not out of the woods yet!
Although he was acquitted of aggravated manslaughter,he is still facing a reckless manslaughter count.I guess all these legal & personal issues got the best of him because he tried to commit suicide.Hopefully,he Jayson Williams will get the treatment that he obviously needs.Here's more from the NY Daily News:
"Cops Tasered ex-NBA star Jayson Williams Monday after the troubled hoopster went nuts in his luxury Manhattan hotel room, police sources said.
The popular New Jersey Nets center, who beat the rap trial for shooting his chauffeur in 2002, was rushed to St. Vincent's Hospital in handcuffs after cops found suicide notes and empty bottles of pills in his room, sources said.
"He was barricaded, drinking, taking pills. He was overwhelmed," a police source said. "It all came crashing down."
Police were called to the Hilton Embassy Suites in Battery Park City at 4 a.m., after a female friend called security to report a disturbance in Williams' 15th-floor suite, the sources said.
Williams, 41, trashed his room, forcing Emergency Service Unit officers to subdue the former All-Star with a Taser gun, sources said. It took two sets of handcuffs to restrain the husky star, cops said.
Cops found several suicide notes, including a message scrawled on the wall. They said he was distraught over his divorce, his parents' illnesses and his impending retrial in the chauffeur-shooting case.
Guests arrived home to find the posh hotel transformed into a crime scene. "There were about cop cars and an ambulance outside," said Annette Peters, 29, of Minneapolis.
It was not immediately known if he injured himself or if he was armed.
A few hours later, Williams' manager insisted the troubled ex-athlete was on the mend."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
