| Chamique Holdsclaw |
Apparently crazy athlete behavior over punany is now becoming an equal opportunity operator. Holdsclaw has had a lifelong battle with clinical depression, including a suicide attempt during her pro career. Now she is facing multiple felony charges for shooting at an ex-girlfriend. From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: "Former basketball star Chamique Holdsclaw
remained in jail Friday after a dispute with a woman that allegedly
turned violent, Atlanta police said. Fulton County Magistrate
Judge Roy Roberts set Holdsclaw’s bond at $100,000 at a first appearance
hearing Friday at the Fulton County jail. Roberts ordered Holdsclaw to
wear an ankle monitor as a condition of bail."

Why is there no attempted murder charge? 'Mique was obviously hoping to use the gunshot's force to ignite the gas in Ms. Lacy's car, to blow ol' girl up: "Jennifer Lacy, 29, who described herself as Holdsclaw’s
former girlfriend, told police she was working out at a church on Ponce
de Leon Avenue on Tuesday when Holdsclaw approached her and said she
wanted to put some items in Lacy’s car. According to an incident
report obtained by Channel 2 Action News, as Lacy drove from the church
she smelled gasoline inside her vehicle and noticed that Holdsclaw was
following her. Lacy said she drove to a friend’s house on Hemphill
Avenue, at which time Holdsclaw got out of her car with a baseball bat
and began smashing the windows in Lacy’s Range Rover, the report said. After
breaking the driver’s side window, a rear passenger’s window and the
rear window, Holdsclaw produced a handgun, fired inside the SUV and fled
the scene, the report said. Police said they later recovered a 9mm shell casing at the scene. Lacy was not injured, police said."
Center-right gossip blogger Sandra Rose, who lives in Atlanta, provides some background details: "A friend told Sandrarose.com that Lacy and Holdsclaw broke up last year
following an abusive 2-year relationship. Holdsclaw and Lacy began
dating while they both played for the Atlanta Dream in 2009. In 2010,
the Dream cut Lacy which, according to friends, upset Holdsclaw who
could no longer exert her dominance over the 6 ft 3 in forward.
Holdsclaw refused to show up for Dream practice a month later and she
was waived by the team."
