After a profanity-laced tirade at a U.S. Open linesperson Serena Williams was arrested by none other than Cambridge Massachusetts policeman and recent White House Beer Summit attendee James Crowley
Officer Crowley, who was attending the match with his family, did not immediately take action. “I saw what she (Williams) was doing and wanted to act but my wife told me that after that Professor Gates crap I shouldn’t get involved. But Serena looked like she was gonna take her racket and beat the (expletive) out of that little Asian lady. And if I didn’t do anything I would have caught hell. So I was screwed either way.”
After being called for a foot fault Williams stepped toward the official, screaming and cursing. "If I could, I would take this (expletive) ball and shove it down your (explicative) throat," Williams said, according to a tennis official who watched a replay Saturday night. “I have had it with these mother(expletive) balls on this mother(expletive) tennis court!”
Following her outburst an irate Williams was handcuffed and led off the court. “It was like déjà vu. She started talking about my mom, calling me a racist, blah, blah, blah,” Crowley stated. “Next time I come to a tennis match if a players gets outta line I hope its Maria Sharapova. Wouldn’t mind slappin’ the cuffs on her if you no what I mean!”
Bill Babcock, the top administrator for Grand Slam tournaments, commented on Serena’s behavior. "What she did was unacceptable under any circumstances. With the possible exception of the MTV Video Music awards."
