Charles Oakley arrested happened early in the game

Charles Oakley arrested was a result of an incident that happened in the 1st quarter of the Clippers game. The game wasn’t the only place that had action.

There was action in the stands with Charles Oakley, security guards, and Knicks owner James Dolan.

What do all three of these people have in common?

They were involved in the scuffle in some way and the the involvement ranged from verbal to physical.

It seemed as if this all happened right at the start of the game.

There is always two sides to every story.

According to an article written by Frank Isola, Oakley claims he never said anything to James Dolan.

Oakley was asked where did he receive the tickets and he replied, “I bought them.” From there he was told to leave, but he did not.

This part of the incident was strange. It was strange because fans usually buy tickets to watch the game. Why did they escort him out of the arena when he was there to watch the game?

The scuffle between Oakley and the security guards happened when he refused to leave the Clippers game. He refused to leave the game because he wanted to watch the game with tickets he purchased.

There is no denying Oakley didn’t get physical with the security guards as their is proof on about every social media site.

At least someone during the game was getting physical. This game could have used more physicality.

Isola also mentions in his article, Oakley was hit with a desk appearance therefore was able to leave the precinct.” He even said that he may be charged with 3 counts of assault.

It seems to me as if James Dolan owner of the Knicks started the scuffle verbally. This could be true but Isola even mentions in his article, “there were reports of Oakley yelling at Dolan.”

Only these two will know the truth of the entire incident.

These two could have had a conversation where they articulate their answers in a respectful to each others questions.
