CelebNSports247.com is happy to announce that Thabo Sefolosha is getting paid after police arrest he and Pero Antic for allegedly interfering with the police investigation that night.

If you recall, Thabo Sefolosha got into an altercation with NYPD outside of 1Oak in Manhattan. Law enforcement told everyone to vacate the scene of the crime. Being an NBA star Thabo Sefolosha thought he was trying to help, but NYPD claimed he failed to comply. He was arrested, but it took five NYPD officers to use necessary force to arrest him. Sefolosha ended up getting a broken leg, which could have ended his career. He was left unable to play.

Thabo Sefolosha sued the city, citing police brutality and claimed the officers arrested him and Pero without real reason. He admitted to calling one of the officers “a midget” just before he was slammed on the ground and arrested. There was NEVER a need for brute force.
