At least it was not a DWI
Former Houston Rocket Steve "Franchise" Francis has been arrested for public intoxication in Los Angeles, California. He was an NBA all star while playing for the Rockets. He never fulfiled expectations when he played here. He was eventually traded for Tracy McGrady who also failed to live up to his expectations with the Rockets. I am caught off guard with the amount of his bond. For example, in Harris County, Texas that bond is reserved for a second degree felony or First time Felony DWI. If that is bond for is equavialent to a traffic ticket what does Los Angeles set a bond for a more serious crime? I hope that he his bond was not set because he is a celebrity or because he can afford a high bond. I would not be surprised if Francis had the ten grand in his pocket. Regardless, it looks like he got a ride to the airport to avoid the dreaded DWI charge.
