Iverson became "irate," according to the police report, saying, "I'm the (expletive) passenger." The officer radioed for backup, and a second unit arrived, according to the report. Antwuan Clisby (the driver) and Iverson were asked to exit the vehicle, while Iverson continued to curse at the officer, the report said.
"Take the vehicle, I have 10 more," Iverson said, according to the report. "Police don't have anything else (expletive) to do except (expletive) with me." He then asked, "Do you know who I am?"
The officer wrote in his report that "For the next 20 minutes, Mr. Iverson went on and on about who he was. I stated to Mr. Iverson, 'It really doesn't matter who you are."
More from Iverson that didn't make it to CNN ... "We're sitting here, and I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we're talking about a violation. I mean listen, we're sitting here talking about a violation, not a misdemeanor, not a misdemeanor, not a misdemeanor, but we're talking about a violation. How silly is that? Now I know that I'm supposed to lead by example and all that but I'm not shoving that aside like it don't mean anything. I know it's important, I honestly do but we're talking about a violation. We're talking about a violation man. We're talking about a violation. We're talking about a violation. We're not talking about a misdemeanor. We're talking about a violation."
