It's sad to see how the mighty have fallen.
Secret Service uniformed agents arrested former NBA player Lonny Baxter early Wednesday after reports of shots fired from a vehicle about two blocks from the White House, a Secret Service spokesman said.
Baxter, 27, who played with the Charlotte Bobcats last season, was taken into custody around 2:30 a.m. after a person on the street flagged down a Secret Service officer and reported shots were being fired from a white sport utility vehicle, said Secret Service spokesman Eric Zahren.
Officers stopped the vehicle, which Baxter was driving, near the intersection of 17th and I streets in Northwest Washington, he said.
"There were spent shell casings in plain view inside the vehicle," Zahren said. Officers searching the vehicle also recovered a handgun, he said.
