| The Las Vegas Review Journal reports that Paul Pierce was handcuffed by Las Vegas police early Sunday after he was initially uncooperative following a traffic stop for driving erratically on the Strip. Bill Cassell, public information officer for the Metropolitan Police Department, said he did not have the specific details as to why Pierce was cuffed but said it often happens when "an individual is loudly hostile." The traffic stop occurred around 3 a.m. near Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue. A Breathalyzer showed Pierce registered below the 0.08 level that defines legal intoxication in Nevada. Police did not cite Pierce for a traffic infraction. Cassel added, "We don't cite everybody we stop. Sometimes we give just a verbal warning. It's based on the totality of the circumstances."
