The stepfather of Boston Celtics guard Marquis Daniels was subdued with a stun gun and arrested on Tuesday during Game Two of Boston's NBA Eastern Conference final series against Orlando. According to a Orlando police report, 55-year-old Willie L Buie was charged with resisting arrest with violence during the contest, which the Celtics won to seize a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven match-up. Celtics spokesman Jeff Twiss confirmed Buie was Daniels' stepfather.
Officers responded to a disturbance in a lower-level seating section in the second half.
Police said they attempted to escort Buie from his seat, but he refused, directing expletives at officers and pulling his arms free. He was eventually escorted out, but as he resisted being handcuffed, an officer used a stun gun on Buie's back for about five seconds, police said.
The report did not say precisely what prompted officers to remove Buie from his seat.
Daniels (29) grew up in Orlando and is now in his seventh NBA season.
