Milwaukee Bucks rookie Sterling Brown was arrested on Thursday night in Milwaukee, he was tased by cops during the arrest, and now an investigation has been opened to determine if police used excessive force during the arrest. Police responded to a Walgreens around 2am, when they found a car parked across two handicapped parking spaces, and when questioned, police say the 22-year-old vehicle owner became combatant towards officers and resisted arrested at which point he was tased. The man turned out to be Sterling Brown, the Milwaukee Bucks rookie swingman out of SMU, who has been playing well over recent weeks and earned two starts for the Bucks. It will be interesting to see how this incident unfolds, if it turns out the taser was unnecessary and excessive force was used, Brown could be in for a big settlement from Milwaukee Police.
