The Denver Police Department is opening an investigation into whether Carmelo Anthony received preferential treatment by police officers.
I don't think this investigation is going to be that tough to investigate. Let's look at the facts:
Denver's CW2 has the facts:
"Anthony was then handcuffed and taken to Denver Health Medical Center where he submitted to a blood test. That's when police called Anthony's fiancee to pick him up.The law states when you're arrested for DUI in Denver, you're either
taken to Detox or released to a sober, responsible party. Anthony's fiancee refused to come get him, leaving police with only one choice -- take Anthony to Detox. Instead, the sergeant who responded personally took Anthony in his police car to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in downtown Denver, were Anthony and his fiancee were staying."
It gets better though:
"In addition to the Sergeant driving Anthony to his hotel, another officer drove Anthony's $130,000 silver Mercedes to a parking lot at the Denver Police Traffic Operations Bureau until he could pick it up later in the day. Typically, the arresting officer would tow a car involved in a DUI case to an impound yard or drive it to a safe, but neutral location."
I think it's pretty clear, 'Melo got pampered after doing something terribly immoral.
