Ex-76er Nailon fined in case with wife (AP) Updated: 2006-09-21 11:32
NORRISTOWN, Pa. -- Former Philadelphia 76er Lee Nailon was fined $300 and
ordered to do community service in a case in which he was charged with elbowing
his wife in the face and throwing a picture frame at her.
Marti Nailon was left with a cut lip but did not seek medical care. She had
confronted her 6-foot-9 husband after finding numbers of other women in his cell
phone, assistant Montgomery County prosecutor Doug Rosenblum said.
Nailon, who last played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, pleaded guilty to
disorderly conduct Tuesday. The 31-year-old player completed anger-management
classes and must perform 24 hours of community service and pay court costs,
Rosenblum said.
Lee Nailon initially was charged with simple assault and harassment after the
Jan. 24 argument at their home in Wynnewood. Marti Nailon wanted the case
dropped and did not appear at Tuesday's hearing, Rosenblum said. The couple, who
have several children and remain married, now live in Kansas, he said.
