I got arrested a couple of years ago but it was more of a tribute to an Arizona cop.

You and I are each half right. It was not Indiana, it was the Pan Am games in Puerto Rico. The specifics are that he punched a policeman in an argument over the use of a practice gym. He was sentenced in absentia, Puerto Rico was unable to extradite him, but the warrant for his arrest remains.

For some reason I thought that was in Cuba during the Pan Am games

Indiana was playing in San Juan in some tournament, at a practice he assaulted a police officer or some game official, was arrested, released, ordered to appear in a San Juan Court but never went back. The court issued a warrant for him that still stands. I don’t imagine he will be vacationing or retiring there.

Don’t forget:
* One beat up folding chair thrown across the hardwood floor.
* One unfulfilled warrant for his arrest in Puerto Rico.
