ATLANTA (CNN) -- NBA player Michael Olowokandi was arrested early Thursday at an Indianapolis nightclub after a dispute with police, during which the Minnesota Timberwolves center was hit twice with an electronic stun gun, police said.
The bar's manager flagged down police officers when Olowokandi refused to leave after the establishment's 3 a.m. closing time, said Sgt. Steve Staletovich, an Indianapolis Police Department spokesman.
Staletovich said an officer used a Taser on Olowokandi when he tried to walk away from police. The first shot appeared to have no effect, but a second allowed police to subdue the player, he said.
Olowokandi, 29, was charged with disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing, both misdemeanors, and was released on his own recognizance Thursday afternoon, Staletovich said.
Note to Mike: Commissioner Stern is not exactly in a forgiving mood these days. Getting tasered outside of nightclubs is not going to sit well with the Commish.
