Din Thomas ArrestedMMA star Din Thomas was arrested this Tuesday for running an unsanctioned underground cagefighting operation at his gym in Palm Springs Florida.

Thomas, 31, faces a felony prohibited competitions charge after police got a tip Oct. 19 about the matches at a facility he uses in St. Lucie West.

Inside, they observed two men fighting in an octagon-shaped ring surrounded by about 150 spectators. The fights reportedly weren’t sanctioned.

This is 100 points for the MMA stars of the Criminal Fantasy League.

Missouri senior forward Darryl Butterfield was charged Friday with peace disturbance, after having a fight with his girlfriend. Butterfield’s girlfriend originally said he clocked her in the face, but he says the contact was accidental.

Butterfield was initially accused of third-degree domestic assault following his arrest in Columbia on Oct. 17, but that charge was never filed, said Andrea Hayes, assistant prosecutor for Boone County. Peace disturbance is a lesser charge, though both are misdemeanors.

Butterfield is scheduled for arraignment Oct. 30, Hayes said. He faces a maximum penalty of six months in jail.

This minor arrest counts as 50 points for the basketball squad.

The following stories won’t count for any points since they don’t involve actual arrests or performance enhancing drugs, but we’ll note them anyways.

Reggie Bush is being sued by his former sports marketer for allegedly accepting over $300,000 in gifts while playing at USC.

“We tried for over a year to resolve this amicably and Bush and his attorney didn’t want to reach any resolution,” said Lake’s attorney, Brian E. Watkins. “They wanted the truth to come out. Now it’s out.”

Themz iz fightin’ whurdz!!!! … Seriously though, 300,000 is chump change to Reggie, thats his weekend strip club money. The only interest in this case is seeing if anything will happen to USC as a result of Reggie breaking the rules while enrolled there.
