Shock the monkey...
I read this story in the sports section of my local paper, the Knoxville News Sentinal...........
Associated Press
Denver-Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant turned himself in to police and posted a 25,000 dollar bond on a felony count of sexual assault, the Eagle County sheriff's office said Sunday.
The 24 year old All-Star guard was released after turning himself in on Friday. The sheriff's office said an arrest warrent was issued after deputies investigated a woman's claims Tuesday of sexual misconduct by Bryant. The incident happened the previous night in a hotel in the Edwards area of Eagle County, near Vail, the sheriff's office said in a statement.
Hurlbert said Sunday night he hadn't made a decision on whether to file charges and had not yet seen the arrest report. He said the sheriff's office asked a judge for an arrest warrant instead of requesting one through his office, the usual practice.
"During the investigation, Bryant was cooperative with investigators and remains cooperative with authorities", the sheriff's office said.
Judge Russel Granger ordered the case sealed.
Attempts to reach Bryant for comment were not immediately successful.
The rest of the story pertains to things unrelated of the above event and I will not waste my time posting them.

Seriously though, he has kept his nose clean, played great ball, and led his team to three championships. He has acted publically like a perfect role model up until this incident which may or may not be true. Neither you or I know what he's like in private, but I think Azale was referring to his public persona.
