NFL Punter -- Busted for Being Waaaaaasted
Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee was arrested last night and charged with public intoxication after a random woman called 911 claiming he was shirtless, "out of it" -- and tried to get in her car.
Indianapolis police found 23-year-old McAfee shirtless and soaking wet -- which is weird because it had not been raining.
According to the police report, cops asked the kicker how much he had to drink -- and he replied, "A lot 'cause I am drunk." McAfee continued, "I know I am drunk, but does that mean I cannot walk home?"
Dude later took a breathalyzer test and registered a 0.15 -- almost double the legal limit.
We're told he's still in police custody ... "sobering up."
UPDATE: McAfee was arraigned and charged with one count of public intoxication ... a misdemeanor. He was released without bail and is due back in court on Friday.
Ochocinco -- Taunting Atlanta Falcons with T-Shirts
Chad Ochocinco is up to his old tricks ... trying to mess with his next opponents -- the Atlanta Falcons -- by sending their defensive backs t-shirts with his mug plastered all over the front.
Sources close to Chad tell us the Cincinnati Bengals star shipped boxes of shirts featuring the "Mad Chad" character from his iPhone app to Falcons cornerbacks Brent Grimes, Dunta Robinson and Chris Owens and safeties William Moore and Thomas DeCoud.
If you recall, Chad sent gift baskets of deodorant to the Baltimore Ravens last year ... so they didn't sweat the matchup. And in 2004, he sent Pepto-Bismol to the Cleveland Browns -- insisting they would be sick to their stomachs trying to cover him.
So why the t-shirts this year? We couldn't get an explanation from Chad ... but we're guessing he'll probably have some sort of explanation before Sunday's game.

LeBron's Manager Accused of False Imprisonment
LeBron James' manager is accused of physically and psychologically damaging a 19-year-old woman ... after she claims the guy held her against her will and stole a very expensive piece of LeBron-inspired jewelry.
TMZ has obtained a lawsuit filed by VaNeisha Robinson -- in which she claims Maverick Carter and his mom staged a 9-man ambush to jack a $10,000 pendant she claims she bought at a garage sale for $5 back in 2005 thinking it was costume jewelry. Turns out, it was real.
Carter maintains the pendant was stolen from him roughly 3 years ago ... and he had no idea where it went until he saw that Robinson was trying to sell it on eBay.
But in the suit, filed in Ohio, Robinson claims Carter concocted a diabolical plan to lure her into his home, insisting that LeBron would be present to make a deal -- instead, she claims, a horde of 8 or 9 people held her in the house against her will and forced her to give up the bling.
For the record -- Robinson claims LeBron was never at the house.
Now, Robinson wants the pendant back and more than $50k in damages from Carter -- claiming she was robbed, falsely imprisoned and suffered some serious mental anguish.
Carter has already filed a response -- denying all allegations.
