j**********e 发帖数: 1034 | 1 MALIBU, Calif. -- Former Chicago Bulls star Scottie Pippen has been named a
suspect after a fight outside of a well-known sushi eatery in Malibu over
the weekend that landed one man in the hospital, according to Sgt. Richard
Pena of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
"Detectives questioned him and released him, pending further investigation,"
Pena said. "They want to question witnesses further.
"At that point, they will make a decision as to whether they have a good
case."
The altercation occurred about 6:30 p.m. Sunday in the parking lot of Nobu
restaurant, said Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department. There was an argument between Pippen and the man, who
was taken to a hospital with unspecified injuries, Whitmore said. His
condition was not immediately available.
Investigators were interviewing several witnesses who apparently saw what
transpired, Whitmore said.
Nobu has been a Malibu mainstay for nearly 15 years and is frequented by
celebrities. The restaurant recently moved to a beachfront location that
offers views of the Pacific Ocean from nearly every seat.
Pippen helped lead the Bulls to six NBA championships in the 1990s. He is a
special adviser to the team's president and chief operating officer.
The Bulls declined to comment Monday.
