Scandal prone Jayson Williams cannot manage to stay out of trouble. Jay got arrested in Raleigh, North Carolina Sunday night after getting into a bar fight.
It's the second time in a month that the ex New Jersey Nets player has had a run in with the law. In late April, Jay was tasered [click here for that story] in his Manhattan hotel by officers who said he was suicidal and resisted attempts to take him to a hospital.
In 2004, Jay was convicted of trying to cover up a shooting at his home. Prosecutors said in 2002, he was giving a tour of his estate to friends and his driver Costas "Gus" Christofi at his mansion in Alexandria Township, N.J. While in the master bedroom, he took a 12-gauge shotgun from a case and snapped it closed, according to testimony. The gun fired once, ripping a hole in the chest of Christofi, who died within minutes. Williams then wiped down the weapon and placed it in the wounded 55-year-old man's hands, stripped off his own clothes, handed them to a friend and jumped into his pool, according to testimony.
