Pero Antic speaks out on NYPD incident
Former Atlanta Hawks center Pero Antic speaks with the AJC on his arrest and treatment by the NYPD from last April.
Pero Antic had all of the charges against him from last April dismissed earlier this month and finally spoke about the incident in an email interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
In the interview, Antic says that "no one should have the right to arrest you for nothing" and that "no one has the right to put your career in danger."
Antic and teammate Thabo Sefolosha were involved in an incident at a New York nightclub on April 8. Sefolosha suffered season-ending injuries and later said those injuries were caused by officers from the New York Police Department.
