Police said they used a taser to calm the 6-foot-9 player. "He apparently would not cooperate," police Lt. Randy Corbitt said. Johnson and two women were arrested, booked and released early Saturday. The women were charged with disturbing the peace. Dan Recht, Johnson's lawyer, said his client was breaking up a fight between the two women. "There was a great deal of confusion and the police mistakenly believe he was interfering with them," Recht told The Denver Post. "However, we are confident when all the facts come out it will be clear that DerMarr is innocent and did nothing wrong." Johnson, in his sixth season in the league, averaged 3.5 points and 1.5 rebounds in 10.7 minutes this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
