Larry Bird’s son arrested, accused of battery

The son of former Celtics star Larry Bird was arrested and now faces multiple charges stemming from an incident at the University of Indiana over the weekend.

University police told the Indianapolis Star that 21-year-old Connor Bird tried to run down his ex-girlfriend with his car. The two had argued at Bird’s Bloomington, Ind., apartment, where Bird threw a cell phone at the woman, police said. The woman got away and found another Indiana student, who took her to the university’s police department.

Were it not for the disgusting domestic violence allegation aspect of this article, there's a great opportunity to make a joke.  Perhaps later.......

Yeah, maybe not.

If this wasn't Bird's son, we wouldn't be hearing about this. We live in the cult of celebrity so this is what constitutes news now. Uggghhh.
