Former New Jersey Nets star Jayson Williams was removed from a hotel by cops and hospitalized [NY Post]. He was described as being suicidal and acting violent.
Inside the hotel, the officers confronted what sources described to The Post as "a suicidal man" who was acting "violent."
The cops called an Emergency Services Unit for help since Williams, 41, had trashed his room.
Once there, sources said, the emergency service officers used a Taser to subdue Williams, who was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital for a psychological evaluation.
The incident occurred 11 days before Williams must decide whether to accept a plea deal offer from New Jersey prosecutors in his pending manslaughter case or face re-trial, according to several sources. Williams also has a looming May 12 hearing in his divorce case filed by his estranged wife, Tanya.
