His first arrest, or "citing," as the case may be, is disappointingly mild.

A police report said a security camera recorded someone setting off the extinguisher in a game room Friday at the Beaver Run Resort in Breckenridge, a ski town about 60 miles west of Denver. White's clothes and shoes appeared to match the person on the video, and his shoes matched footprints left in the powder from the fire extinguisher, the report said. [White] was cited on a charge of second-degree criminal tampering. He was ordered to appear in municipal court on March 10. The report said White's breath smelled of alcohol when police spoke with him.

Snowboarding — or whatever it is — is never going to be taken seriously as a national sport until their superstars can put together some legitimate, respectable arrests. Setting off a fire extinguisher while drunk? Please: Call us when you knock over a 7-11, Shaun, or get shot at outside an Indianapolis strip club.

(UPDATE: The Smoking Gun has the brilliant police report.)

• Fresh Powder Costs An Athlete Once Again. It's our opinion that the general public will never fully embrace the NBA until the league cracks down on all the unauthorized snow sport activities. On Thursday Lakers' forward Vladimir Radmanovic was fined for snowboarding, sending a harsh message to the rest of the league (Malik Allen drops snow saucer with an audible clank!). Radmanovic separated his shoulder while snowboarding on Feb. 17, a violation of his contract (man, those things must be very lengthy and specific). The amount wasn't disclosed, although the Seattle Post-Intelligencer is reporting that it's $500,000. Yikes. From the MSNBC story: "Radmanovic initially told the team that he sustained the injury when he slipped on a patch of ice and fell" ... leaving out the part about the mountain and the chair lift. Actually, though, we'd be just as willing to pay to see a 6-foot-10 guy crash while snowboarding as we would to see the Lakers play the Grizzlies. Anyway, to make him feel better, why not send him one of these?

• Maveriffic. LeBron James had 39 points for the Cavaliers, but it wasn't enough to stop our new Dallas Mavericks overlords, who claimed their 14th straight win, 95-92. James missed two free throws and a pair of 3-pointers in the final 14 seconds.

• Paul Allen Puts The Hammer Down. Still reeling from the news that general manager Steve Patterson had just resigned (who?), Portland stopped Charlotte 127-90 behind rookie LaMarcus Aldridge's 30 points.

• And In College Scores ... Meanwhile, a few miles north, Rashard Lewis picked up the slack for the injured Ray Allen with 31 points to lead Seattle over the Clippers 77-75.

Her last little trick was completely unnecessary. All she had to do was cross the finish line, and she'd be spending her evening chatting with Bob Costas and peeking through the hole in her pretty new gold medal. She says she was trying to give herself more stability with the grab, while others seem to believe she was showboating. So she either choked on a move that should've been simple for her, or she's a cuter version of Leon Lett.

Either way, that had to hurt. You can experience her pain with her tonight on NBC, on about an 8-hour tape delay.
