Rolando 2016

Tennis problem child Bernard Tomic added an American
misdemeanour arrest to his list of scrapes with the law after the
Australian refused to turn down loud music in his suite at a trendy
Miami Beach hotel.
Australian media confirmed that the number 25, who has been banned
from the Davis Cup side as the squad faces Kazakhstan in Darwin,
Northern Territory, was taken into custody at the five-star W South
Beach Hotel on the art-deco waterfront.
Reports indicate that the player who crashed out this week in the
first round of the ATP event in Newport, Rhode Island, was arrested
after refusing to lower loud music blasting from his suite.
Tomic reportedly did not comply with request from hotel security, and
when police arrived refused to leave after being told he was being
turfed out. By staying in the suite, Tomic was charged with
trespassing.
Local media said the 22-year-old was charged with a misdemeanour of
resisting arrest without violence.
The police blotter episode comes several years after Tomic got into a
standoff with Queensland police over repeated traffic violations
while still a teenager and driving a massively powered orange BMW on
a provisional license.
Tomic has been banned from Davis Cup play due to a deepening legal
dispute between his family and Tennis Australia over financial
matters.
Tennis bureaucrats put their foot in it last week, sending out an
email listing their bad boy as playing in the Hall of Shame
Championships in Newport - an event actually entitled the Hall of
Fame. He entered it out of spite during the week of Davis Cup.
Apologies were quick to come from tennis pencil-pushers, but the
incident could well lead to a lawsuit from Tomic's combatative
father, John. The senior Tomic had troubles of his own in 2013 when
he was arrested in Madrid and charged with beating up his son's
practice partner.
