SURREY, B.C. --
An apparent parking infraction involving B.C. Lions slotback Arland Bruce III triggered a brief club statement and not much else Monday.
"There was an incident," head coach/GM Wally Buono told reporters Monday. "We were made aware of it. Hopefully it's not any more than maybe a small irritant.
"At the end of it, it doesn't affect Arland's position on the football club. We are just going to move forward."
Const. Lindsey Houghton, a Vancouver police spokesman, said privacy issues prevent police from releasing any further information.
It's unlikely there will be any further investigation into the matter or that charges will be laid, Houghton said.
The Lions players had the day off in the buildup to Sunday's West final against the Edmonton Eskimos.
It was probably one of those "Illegally parked but I'm in the car" situations and he was told to move by a cop or a meter maid and some chirping followed. That is what I would guess, and whole bunch of nothing because both parties decided to act like idiots. That is just pure, unadulterated speculation that no one should hold any kind of a grudge about.
All it is good for is speculation, which while fun, gets us nowhere when the "facts" apparently will never be released, according to the police. I know I've had parking tickets before. Are they newsworthy, even if I was a famous person? I don't think so. Time to just move along.....
I also heard that sometimes Bruce doesn't sort his recyclables into the correct bins. Good thing we got rid of him - we don't need that kind of trouble.
