Aaron McKie Arrested; Faces Up To 15 Years

Aaron McKie, who not only was the Sixth Man of the Year when the Sixers went to the finals in 2001 but also scored 20 points for Gratz in a 79-27 win over Bok in a Pub first round playoff game in 1989, has been arrested in Montgomery County. First Marvin Harrison, now this: What is going on with hometown Philadelphia sports heroes? Rasheed Wallace, please don’t do anything illegal.

McKie was charged with lying on a gun application. The state never said something this awful could happen if we passed gun laws.

Allegedly, McKie went to purchase two guns in Abington, and wrote he didn’t have a protection from abuse order. he has an active one in Delco preventing him from buying a gun. Hmm, okay. So, ah, what’s the penalty there for lying on a gun application, like a fine or something?

McKie faces a felony charge that carries a maximum prison sentence of fifteen years

Oh, I see. Well, goodbye, Aaron. Memories of the 2001 Sixers continue to fade off into the distance.
