Timberwolves player battles Celtics, then has scrape with law

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota Timberwolves rookie Randy Foye was cited early Monday for disorderly conduct after police found him in a fight outside a gas station.

Foye and two others were released after receiving citations, Lt. Amelia Huffman said. A fourth person, Pierre D. Mitchell, was booked into Hennepin County jail for obstructing the legal process after he kicked at officers while refusing to be seated in a squad car.

According to the police report: Officers responded about 2:40 a.m. to a witness report of a scuffle outside the gas station about 2 miles south of Target Center. They found four people in a fight next to a parked sports utility vehicle while the store was closed.
It was unclear what caused the fight, police said, but Foye and the three others were apparently acquaintances who had been traveling together in the vehicle.

Foye, a point guard from Villanova taken seventh in last summer’s draft, started his second game of the season Sunday against Boston. He is averaging nine points and 21 minutes per game. He was chosen to play in the NBA’s rookie game as part of this weekend’s All-Star festivities in Las Vegas.
