Officers testify former Magic point guard ignored orders.(The Orlando Sentinel)
Byline: Anthony Colarossi
ORLANDO, Fla. _ Orlando police officers have few doubts that former Orlando Magic point guard Darrell Armstrong ignored their demands to move off Orange Avenue in the early morning hours of July 7.
But now as Armstrong's criminal trial heads into its second day, the question remains: Did the NBA veteran have any obligation to heed the officers' demands before they arrested him?
A series of Orlando police officers testified in court Monday that Armstrong ran out into Orange Avenue and briefly stopped a taxi cab outside the Club at Firestone just before the downtown nightclub was set to close.
The officers also testified that Armstrong did not respond to their requests to move off the street, before and after the cab left the scene. Armstrong, they said, had a brief conversation with two women in the back of the cab and then remained in the street.
And when the officers continued to tell him to move off Orange Avenue, the officers all recalled Armstrong saying: "What are you messing with me for?"
What happened soon after Armstrong's statement resulted in him being charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, a felony, and resisting an officer without violence, a misdemeanor.
