(WCCO) 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.
The WCCO-TV I-TEAM obtained copies of 911 calls and store surveillance video of the incident, along with an accident report the police submitted to the state.
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

nice.
maybe he wanted the police to let him get off?
ROTF!
prolly won't be able to beat that rap
"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."
He may have dropped the phone, but he picked up something else when he went looking for it....
I just hope that he broke something in the crash that will prevent him from reproducing. Anyone that stupid is polluting the gene pool!
In aviation we'd say he had the wrong stick in his hand.
I know where Santana Foods is!
My former girlfriend lived in an apt about two blocks away. They made damned good gyros! I used to walk over there once in a while from her place.
If these cops drove Griffin home w/o checking to see if he was drunk, it sounds like he may have received preferential treatment.
I suspect the police either recognized him as a Timberwolves player or Griffin told them that he was and promised free tickets.
I hate to think a cop would do that - but it is possible, I guess.
I guess this is the stupid story of the day. Yesterday it was the guy in the Packistani prison who woke up with a light bulb up is butt. Talk about a sound sleeper.
And they thought talking on your phone and driving was bad...
Bet they took extra care when cuffing him...
He rear ended a guy while masturbating? He'll never live that one down.
Not Legal, I would sue the muerda out of him.
Good Lord another brain surgeon with millions because God gave him a gift and he can't handle it.
He could be chasing lions.
You know, this whole thing has so much bad, tasteless, uncalled for joke potential. I just need to leave the thread now.
sports build characters.
Just an adult exercising his constitutional rights /sarc.
I'm thinking of getting one of those fancy cell phones with video recording capability for cases just like this when some jackass crashes into me. Good for evidence in court.
Guess the rumors are not true if he confused the two...
