Gold medal snowboarder Shaun White was arrested in Nashville Monday after allegedly getting drunk and trashing his hotel room, according to TMZ.
Then, when confronted by hotel staff, the “Flying Tomato” (a nickname he hates) just started pulling fire alarms and running away. In his haste to evade his captors White somehow split his head open, which promptly stopped his well thought out escape.
White was taken to the local hospital and, once treated and released, will be taken to jail and processed on charges of public intoxication and vandalism. Shaun’s reps couldn’t be reached for comment, but we assume his mother is very disappointed.
He’s upset because he no longer looks like Carrot Top.
Now he’s got a little bit of a James Hetfield thing going on.
If you believe that Shaun White is an athelete because he can ride a snowboard then you problably think that professional bowlers and billiards players are also “atheletes”.
Thanks for proving my point.
