If you are going to go out joyriding and shooting up things, don't do it two blocks from the White House. It might, just might, attract some attention.
WASHINGTON - NBA player Lonny Baxter was arrested by uniformed Secret Service officers on Wednesday after shots were fired from a vehicle about two blocks from the White House.
Baxter, a forward for the Charlotte Bobcats, was taken into custody around 2:30am after a witness flagged down a Secret Service officer and reported shots fired from a white sport-utility vehicle, said Secret Service spokesman Eric Zahren.
Officers stopped the vehicle, which Baxter was driving, near the intersection of 17th and I streets in Northwest Washington.
"There were spent shell casings in plain view inside the vehicle," Zahren said. Officers also recovered a handgun.
