A loyal Deadspin reader who we will call "Ray," waited out the 17th Precinct in Midtown Manhattan today to catch one of the most time-honored traditions in sports—the athlete perp walk. Citizen journalism!

He was safely cordoned off from the armed and dangerous wide receiver, but he did manage to catch Plaxico Burress being led out of the joint in handcuffs. He had just been "processed" and was being taken to court, to enter his plea and be formally arraigned. I hope Sam Waterston gets the case.
