Legal Troubles
On December 6, 2004 Worrell was pulled over while driving a Ford Expedition owned by former teammate Andreas Lilja, in Pompano Beach, Florida. He was pulled over for driving with an expired license plate tag. Worrell, a 6' 7" Caribbean-Canadian, identified himself as Lilja, a 6' 3" Swedish Caucasian. According to the arresting officer, Deputy Lionel Davis, "After asking the defendant several times his name, Worrell continued to deliberately falsify and obstruct my investigation," Davis cleared up the misidentification after finding Worrell's passport in the SUV. Worrell was charged with driving with a suspended license and resisting arrest without violence, both misdemeanors. Worrell had his license suspended twice because of two convictions for drunken driving. In June 2002, he was arrested for DUI, leaving the scene of an accident and criminal mischief for kicking a police car's window off its track. He pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 10 days in jail for those incidents.

Famous quotes containing the words legal and/or troubles:
“There are ... two minimum conditions necessary and sufficient for the existence of a legal system. On the one hand those rules of behavior which are valid according to the system’s ultimate criteria of validity must be generally obeyed, and on the other hand, its rules of recognition specifying the criteria of legal validity and its rules of change and adjudication must be effectively accepted as common public standards of official behavior by its officials.”
—H.L.A. (Herbert Lionel Adolphus)
“The price of telling your troubles is having to listen to advice.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
