Sean Avery Arrested In LA After Calling Cops "Fat Little Pigs"

2011_05_avery365.jpg When last we talked about the Rangers' Sean Avery the fashion-forward, fight-happy left wing was in Albany pushing for gay marriage. Today we find him getting arrested in LA after taunting the LAPD and, according to TMZ, calling them "fat little pigs."

Avery has already been released on $20,000 bail and is due to appear in court on September 2. The incident with police occurred early this morning when the LAPD arrived at Avery's Hollywood Hills home in response to noise complaints. Avery allegedly became irate at the sight of them, pushed an officer and slammed the door before they could enter. He quickly realized what he had done and became cooperative, according to reports, but it was too late. He faces a misdemeanor charge of battery on a police officer. Only a few more months till the return of professional hockey!

    After touching a cop, he's lucky he didn't get his ass kicked. Maybe that's what he wanted all along.

    I dunno... unless you're Mike Tyson or something, would you throw a punch at him?

  • Um, YES!

    Avery is an asshole.

    So...he didn't actually get arrested for calling the cops names. He got arrested for assaulting them.

     Editors never let facts get in the way of a headline.

  • Fair enough. But note that the headline says he was arrested after he called cops "fat little pigs," not because of it. 

  • I think I saw a Craiglist posting where Sean Avery was asking to be tied up like a "Fat Little Pig"

    Sean Avery = closet case

  • Theose

    What a asinine photo. I love it. 

  • You know that photo is a screen cap from the equal marriage campaign, not his mug shot, right?

  • longacre

    This guy has mental problems.
