Suit: NBA Player Watching Porn, Drunk Before Crash
Claim Targets Minnesota Timberwolves' Eddie Griffin
(CBS) MINNEAPOLIS On March 30, Minnesota Timberwolves center Eddie Griffin was drunk and masturbating when he crashed his luxury SUV into a parked Suburban outside a store in Minneapolis, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday by the man whose Suburban was hit in the crash.

WCCO-TV obtained copies of 911 calls and store surveillance video of the incident, along with an accident report the police submitted to the state, reports WCCO-TV's Caroline Lowe.

Several of the 911 callers that night said Griffin was drunk. One witness said Griffin told him he was watching pornography in a DVD player mounted on the dashboard of his Cadillac Escalade SUV when he struck a Chevy Suburban parked on University Avenue Southeast.

The location where Griffin crashed is located a couple miles from the Target Center where Griffin had played with his team several hours earlier.

Abed Hassuneh, who is the brother of the victim, said Griffin told him, "That he was masturbating himself going down that street. That's how the accident happened because he was not paying attention. He's paying attention to that video and all of a sudden he's shoveled somebody's car on the top of the sidewalk."

Interim Minneapolis Police Chief Tim Dolan ordered an internal affairs investigation of the conduct of the two officers who responded to the scene, after WCCO-TV made Dolan aware of allegations about the incident.

Key questions are why Griffin wasn't tested for alcohol and why the officers drove him out of the city to his home in St. Paul. Griffin also received tickets for not having a license and inattentive driving.

Griffin's damaged SUV was towed to the Minneapolis impound lot.

Dolan told WCCO-TV he expects impartial policing. Dolan also said officers must get permission to leave the city.

"Obviously, if somebody is drunk and they are driving we want that dealt with by the police officers of Minneapolis," Dolan said.

In the video, Griffin can be heard pleading with witnesses to not call police saying, "I can't go to jail."

The video also shows Griffin admitting he is drunk and doesn't have a driver's license.

The video shows him struggling for minutes to put on his sweatshirt and offering to buy a car for the man who's SUV he crashed into in front of Santana Foods.

Griffin was not available for comment. When he was interviewed by reporters after the crash happened, he said he had dropped his cell phone as he drove.

The two officers involved in the incident, Daniel Anderson and Matthew Lindquist, have been with the Minneapolis Police Department since October 2001. The officers remain on duty pending the outcome of the internal investigation.

I'm sure that BGD - ahem - came across this story first but was too chicken to post it.

[Mudcat]

I dunno. I think I've got as much of a sense of humor as anyone - and I can see the funny side of this - but I think that guy needs to be locked up at least for a couple months. Innocent people can get killed that way.

I've been plenty schnockered on a few occasions in my life and pulled a few stupid stunts (like jumping from a 3rd-story window after one particularly pleasing football game). But at no time did I ever think, "I believe a drive through the suburbs watching porn and choking my chicken is in order."

[JoshW]

Who here hasn't masturbated while driving a car?

[Illusion]

The amazing thing is that he admitted doing it. He should just lied.

They have video from some store's surveillance of the incident.

BTW, I just went for a cruise around the block

"Yes officer, the crash mysteriously turned on my car's television to Channel XXXX and the force of the impact somehow forced my rooster out of my pants and straight into my right hand."

LOL. He probably couldn't finish, so when they got there, he was probably still doing what he was doing prior to the crash

[McBa1n]

Too bad he didn't die in the incident...
He would be a hero to all of us.
Instead, he's just a reckless wank.

hahaha, even so - funniest crap I've read in a LONG time.
Who the F wakes the one eyed wizard behind the wheel with that kind of money?

Hahaahaha - Darwin award candidate - finalist - and likely winnar!!!

[Utopia]

That's about the 5th stupid thing this clown has done since he bailed out of college to leap to the NBA.


Stern should lock him out forever...

This just goes to show that masturbations isn't just sinful, but dangerous too.

[Doug]

" Inattentive driving" !

Quite right.

For all the amusement that this seems to be providing to some people, this is a very serious matter. I think that he should be made to produce some public information films to highlight this crime and to make sure that no-one else falls down his tragic path:

"Kids - don't wank and drive"

[bigboydan]

the latest reports that are surfacing now are that, griffen tried to brieb the store owner not to call the cops. then went on to offer to buy any kind of car he wanted except for a bently.

Everyone is carefully avoiding this question.

Yeah, kind of killed the thread for a while didn't it.

Seems like lakerfan is a little too embarassed to return back to it as well. Or maybe he's too busy knocking one off on his way home from work as we speak.

[Mudcat]

Well I was a bit of a loose cannon at times in my younger days but I can promise you I have never masturbated to a porno DVD while driving a car.

[Doug]

We need a certain RX poster ( Skinsraj) to comment.

Since they didn't have DVDs when you were a nipper (or even TV if we're to believe BuddyBear), it's not saying much. Did you used to read a jazz mag instead?

[Mudcat]

Why oh why did I not just let Lakerfan's question die?

[moses millsap]

He offered a car? What a stupid F the other guy is. What's the point in ratting out Griffin? I would've fleeced the rich, horny, and drunk bastard at that point in the night.
