Torii Hunter’s Big Afternoon With The Cops

While it wasn’t exactly being chased through the methlands of Florida or Ohio, Torii Hunter starred in his own episode of Cops in Orange County Wednesday afternoon. If you cue up Inner Circle and read Hunter’s tweets, it’s just like you’re watching Fox at 11 am instead of having a job. So crack a beer and light up a Pall Mall, it’s showtime…

My alarm went off in my house while I was in it. 20mins later I saw cops checking out the scene. Went outside and they drew there guns on me

They didn't believe I lived here in Newport coast so they walked me upstairs at gunpoint to get my ID.

Kind of an anticlimactic ending if you ask me. I’m kidding, of course, and glad Hunter is okay. But it begs the question, how much of an Angels fan was that cop anyway? He didn’t recognize Torii Hunter in Anaheim?

Hunter took the event in stride and thanked the police force even though he might have exaggerated a little bit…

The police departmen did a great job of protecting my home. Thanks guys!

The cops that were here today had there guns drawn but pointed downward in for safety. Those guys handled the situation like trained cops.

Gunpoint might have been a little extreme. Just guns drawn pointing down.

And that concludes another episode of Twitter story time. Oh Twitter, I don’t remember what we did without you.
