Keeler: If Nuggets star Nikola Jokic got fined, why was Suns owner Mat Ishbia let off the NBA’s hook?

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 23:24:17 GMT

We’d say to throw the book at Mat Ishbia, but who are we kidding? He’d probably just cradle the thing in his lap and refuse to give it back.“As Nikola (Jokic) said, that’s not an owner in the stands,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone offered Monday during a brief media scrum when asked about Ishbia, the Suns’ handsy governor. “He’s a fan. I mean, we don’t designate who’s in the stands.”If any other fan held onto a game ball and got all keep-away with the rock during a heated postseason game while a player was trying to retrieve it to restart the action, you know what happens? They’re escorted from the arena and banned for the rest of the series.So if Joe Dumars, commissioner Adam Silver and the rest of the NBA wingtips really want to close the book on the case of Jokic v. Ishbia before Game 5 Tuesday night at Ball Arena, how ’bout this:Either a) the Suns owner pays the Joker’s $25,000 fine as recompense for dragging us all down this rabbit hole to begin wit...

Denver’s “junker” vehicle law amended to include pause for people living in cars

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 23:24:17 GMT

The Denver City Council tweaked a new law aimed at giving police and parking enforcement officials more power to ticket and impound RVs, trailers, semis and damaged or abandoned “junker” vehicles on city streets on Monday.The last-second adjustment, put forth by Councilman Paul Kashmann, requires city officials to provide an additional 48 hours of notice before a vehicle is impounded if they believe that people are living in that vehicle or using it for short-term shelter. The amendment passed unanimously before the amended bill passed 11-1 with Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca voting no.The 48-hour delay was meant to provide time for city officials to reach out to potentially homeless vehicle owners and assuage concerns about the wider discretion the new law provides city officials to ticket and impound large or damaged vehicles parked on city streets. But opponents still see the changes the bill made to the city code as tools for targeting unhoused people and low-income resi...

A former special agent with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) from Riverside was sentenced to life in federal prison for sexually assaulting two women and using his law enforcement position to prevent them from reporting his violent crimes, authorities announced Monday.  The former federal agent, 48-year-old John Jacob Olivas, started his government career in 2007, working in Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He later moved to HSI but resigned in 2015 after working for the agency for just over six years, according to a news release from the United States Department of Justice.  Authorities said Olivas sexually assaulted the two victims while he was a federal agent.  In Jan. 2012, the 48-year-old attempted to rape a woman, telling her that police would not respond to any reports she made because he was “above a cop,” “untouchable” and “invisible” as a federal agent, the release stated. He also threatened the victim, telling her that he could make her “disappear...
