It’s hard being a NBA player especially when pulled over for an  outstanding misdemeanor traffic violation. What is a bad boy such as Matt Barnes to do??

The answer is pretty obvious, threaten — allegedly — a police officer via SI.

Los  Angeles Lakers forward Matt  Barnes has been arrested on an outstanding misdemeanor traffic warrant  and for investigation of threatening a police officer.

Manhattan Beach police Lt. Steve Tobias said Barnes was arrested late Monday  as he was walking on a busy thoroughfare in the city about 20 miles southwest of  downtown Los Angeles. Bail was set at $51,000.

Tobias said Barnes wasn’t cooperative when he was stopped by police and was  going to be booked for allegedly threatening the officer, which is a felony.
