Tennis star Jimmy Connors was arrested last night, November 21st, outside a campus arena where UC Santa Barbara and North Carolina were playing a game.
Connors was taken into custody after he refused to leave an area near the entrance of the Thunderdome. There was a confrontation of some sort, and he was asked to leave and decided he didn’t want to.
Police took him into custody at the beginning of the game and as of early this morning, he has not been booked yet.
Connors was a champion tennis star in the 1970’s and most recently stepped down as Andy Roddick’s coach after nearly two years of working together. He has always been known for his out of control temperament and it seems things are getting any better.
