Just moments after the Toronto Raptors won their first-ever NBA championship over the Golden State Warriors, team president Masai Ujiri allegedly got involved in an altercation with a sheriff's deputy.
The latest development on the alleged confrontation reveals that the case has already been submitted to the Alameda County District Attorney's Office, George Kelly of The Mercury News reports.
Investigators with the Oakland Police Department have submitted their findings in the incident involving a Toronto Raptors executive’s confrontation with an Alameda County sheriff’s deputy to the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, authorities said Tuesday.
When asked for comment, a district attorney’s office representative said Tuesday afternoon there was no specific timeframe on making a charging decision.
According to the report, the district attorney's office will make the decision whether the African-born executive will be charged with a criminal offense. However, as stated above, there is no time table on when they will come up with a final decision.
The sheriff's deputy accused Ujiri of pushing and shoving him in the face as the executive made his way to court. The official reportedly stopped Ujiri because he did not have the proper credentials or identification. He claimed that he did not know the Raptors executive and was simply doing his job.
Ujiri, on the other hand, denied that he hit the sheriff's deputy. Likewise, some eyewitnesses at the Oracle Arena have come out saying that Ujiri never hit the man.
This case has certainly gotten serious. What was supposed to be a very joyous moment for Ujiri suddenly turned grim because of this incident.
