Sometimes the stories that come past our desks here at That NBA Lottery Pick are either really funny or really strange or the combination of the two.
This story however is pretty weird, a murder suspect decided to attend a Charlotte Bobcats game in the VIP section and then subsequently got caught.
We get more from Pro Basketball Talk:
You would think that if you were wanted for murder that you wouldn't go to an event as public as a Charlotte Bobcats basketball game but I guess you can say that even criminals cannot stay away from the allure of a 1-5 NBA team.
Members of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police’s Violent Criminal Apprehension Team arrested 24-year-old Earl Barranco during the game, according to WCNC-TV, the Observer’s news partner.
Undercover officers took down Barranco in one of the VIP areas of the arena before 8 p.m., but police didn’t have more details on the arrest Sunday morning.
Barranco was apparently in the VIP section for the game, and was arrested before 8 p.m.. The game started at 7 p.m.
