Bulls Mascot Charged with Attacking Off-duty Cop

CHICAGO -- A Chicago Bulls mascot dressed in a bright red costume was charged with attacking an off-duty officer after driving a mini-motorcycle through an outdoor festival.

Barry Anderson, the Bennie the Bull mascot, is accused of throwing a punch at an off-duty police officer, knocking off his glasses and breaking his watch.
Barry Anderson, the Benny the Bull mascot, was charged with misdemeanor battery and driving within a parkway. The 26-year-old man is accused of throwing a punch at the sheriff's deputy, knocking off his glasses and breaking his watch.

Anderson was riding the motorcycle through the festival without a permit Sunday, Police Capt. James Knightly said. When the off-duty officer, who was working security, tried to stop him, Anderson ran, police said. The officer chased and caught him.

"It would be premature to make any comment at this point until all the information is gathered," Bulls spokesman Tim Hallam said.

Veronica Resa, a spokeswoman with the Mayor's Office of Special Events, said Anderson was entertaining people at the Taste of Chicago festival.

"We always love working with the Chicago Bulls and we know that what happened was not their fault," Resa said.

Anderson's costume was returned to the United Center after his arrest, police said.

In 2005, another Bulls mascot, Da Bull, was sentenced to probation for 1½ years for possession of cannabis with intent to deliver.

...hey, someone has to spoil the bull's run of good fortune lately.

the biggest sleeper pa rin cguro ng nex season is ano ang magiging performance ng ny knicks with coach isaiah!! let us remember na sya ang reason bkit naging all-star si jermaine o'neal.. bka ngayon ang project nya ay si channing frye at eddy curry plus blending of chemistry ni starbury at steve francis!!

how about shawn marion for andrei kirilenko ak-47?? pareho silang stat-sheet filler e!! plus both have d!

dont think marion would agree to that trade jazz is a "basura" team for now. And about the kg think i dont think it would happen kg would at least try another yaer w/ the wolves he aint ready to get out of minnesota yet. But if it this trade does happen chicago would be the champs that about 90% for sure.

Wolves will be an improved team next season. They got a good pick in Randy Foye who is a sure starter along with Ricky Davis and KG.
In other developments, Fisher to Jazz for Devin Brown, Mcleod and Andre Owens. Bull dealt Chandler to Hornets for PJ Brown and JR Smith. Charlotte is ready to roll with Okafor, Chandler, 3rd pick Morrison, Brevin Knight and G. Wallace. Jazz will be so-so if they can't ship Boozer or AK for a high scoring wingman like Marion.
