Marcus Morris arrest: Brother Markieff confirms situation, agent claims issue stems from unpaid casino debt
NBA veteran Marcus Morris was arrested Sunday on a fraud charge, Broward County booking records confirmed. Morris, 35, was apparently arrested at an airport due to "insufficient funds check," per the arrest information. While Morris has not commented on the situation, his brother, Markieff, confirmed the arrest, but claimed the fraud charge was "crazy." "The wording is crazy," Markieff said. "Damn for that amount of money they'll embarrass you in the airport with your family. They got y'all really thinking bro did some fraud s***. They could have came to the crib for all that. When y'all hear the real story on this s*** man. All I can say is Lesson learned. Bro will tell y'all tomorrow. This weird shit gave me a headache. Can't stop nothin!" Morris' agent, Yony Noy issued a response to Markieff's tweet. Noy attempted to clarify the situation, saying Marcus' arrest has nothing to do with a fake check. Noy claimed Morris was arrested over an unpaid credit with a casino. Noy called the arrest "absolutely insanity." Noy's full statement read: "Just so everyone understands this is zero fraud here or whatever crap outlets have said regarding fake checks or whatever the hell. This is due to an outstanding marker with a casino. Apparently if you have over $1,200 they can issue a warrant for your arrest. Absolute insanity!" Morris, a 13-year NBA veteran, saw time with a number of teams during his playing career. He spent four of his 13 seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers and three with the Phoenix Suns. He also saw time with six other franchises as a player. His final season in the NBA came in 2023-24, when he saw time with the Philadelphia 76ers and Cleveland Cavaliers. Morris appeared as a guest NBA analyst on ESPN during the offseason.

Driver to be sentenced in double fatal DWI crash into Park Tavern patio in St. Louis Park
The man who pleaded guilty to driving drunk into the patio of Park Tavern in St. Louis Park last year is scheduled to be sentenced Monday. Police say 56-year-old Steven Bailey plowed into the patio last September, killing restaurant employee and mother of three Kristina Folkerts and Methodist Hospital worker Gabe Harvey, both of whom were 30 years old. More than a dozen others were also hurt. Bailey, of St. Louis Park, first struck a parked vehicle while backing his BMW X5 into a spot in Park Tavern's lot. He then struck an oncoming SUV before accelerating up to 45 mph and smashing through the patio's metal fence, charging documents stated. Officers at the scene say they overheard Bailey tell someone in a phone call that he "hit the gas instead of the brake and went right through a thing," and, "I'm f***ed." Investigators said Bailey was intoxicated at four times the legal limit. His record shows five prior convictions for driving while intoxicated, with the first case in 1985 and the last case in 2014. In May, Bailey pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree murder and three counts of criminal vehicular operation. Bailey is set to be sentenced Monday afternoon at 1 p.m. He faces up to 30 years in prison. Legislation was drafted in response to this crash. The proposal, which was signed into law earlier this year, lengthens the amount of time repeat DWI offenders would have to use ignition interlock devices — a breathalyzer that prevents an engine from starting if a person is intoxicated — to get behind the wheel. Lawmakers said if their proposed changes had been in effect at the time, Bailey would have had an ignition interlock on his vehicle based on his Cummings and Stephen Swanson contributed to this report.
