Dallas Mavericks reserve forward Tim Thomas is an assault suspect in a melee
that occurred early today at a Denny's, according to police records.
No arrests have been made.
The fracas occurred about 3 a.m. at the Denny’s in the 4400 block of North
Central Expressway, adjacent to the La Quinta Inn near Fitzhugh Avenue.
Thomas could not be reached for comment. The Mavericks said he would not make
a scheduled afternoon appearance at Amazing Jake’s restaurant at Collin
Creek Mall in Plano.
Roger Emrich, a sports reporter for KRLD radio (1080 AM), happened to be
eating in the Denny's at the time and witnessed the fight, which he said
involved companions of Thomas -- but not the player -- and another group of
customers.
"They landed right on my table and broke my plate of food," Emrich said on
the air this afternoon. "It was an All-American Slam, by the way."
He said he never heard Thomas utter an anti-gay slur, as one witness and a
Dallas police report allege. Nor did he see Thomas throw a chair, as the
police report claims.
Donnie Nelson, the team's general manager and president of basketball
operations, said media accounts of the matter had been "way, way overblown."
Nelson, too, disputed the police report's allegation that Thomas had tossed a
chair.
"What I can tell you is that Tim was not involved,'' he said. "He's 30 years
old with a wife and kids. When the situation started to escalate, he left the
property immediately. Certainly we're working with authorities and our
security folks to get to the bottom of it. But this is something that's way,
way, way overblown.
"Innocent until proven guilty in this country, last I checked.''
Police records give the following account:
Thomas, another man and three women entered the Denny’s. Damien Pettie, 29,
recognized Thomas. He told police he addressed the basketball player by
saying, “What’s up?” Thomas told him not to talk to him, using curse words
and racial and anti-gay epithets. Pettie responded with profanity.
The man with Thomas then struck Pettie twice in the face, breaking his lip
open.
“Then all parties within both groups began to throw chairs, knock over
tables, and fight each other” until the store manager told them he was going
call police.
A man identified as Thomas threw a chair that struck Moya Kissick, striking
her in her left side.
Thomas and his group then left the restaurant before police arrived.
Pettie told The Dallas Morning News that someone else -- not Thomas -- threw
the chair.
He said that when he and his friends passed by Thomas’ table and he
addressed the player by saying, “What’s up?” Thomas responded that that he
didn’t talk to “faggots.” The police report also quoted Pettie as saying
Thomas used that term.
But Emrich, who said he eats frequently at that Denny's, said that when a man
-- apparently, Pettie -- approached Thomas' table and spoke to the basketball
player, Thomas responded: "Just keep going."
Emrich added: "I think it was probably clear that he did not want to have a
covnversation with that gentleman."
But he said he did not hear Thomas say anything offensive.
When the man returned to Thomas' table later, Emrich said, two men with
Thomas "got up and cofnronted this guy. ... The next thing I know, one of
them threw a punch and connected."
But Thomas remained seated, Emrich said. He added that he did not see Thomas
involved in the fight.
Pettie told The News that when he passed Thomas’ table again, Thomas made
another remark derogatory remark about gays.“I asked one of the guys, ‘What
the hell did you say?’ ’’ Pettie said. “As Tim continued to instigate the
situation, one of the guys hit me in my mouth. Another one of his friends hit
me. They pushed me down onto a table.”
Pettie says he picked up a chair to defend himself. One of the men who hit
him in the face then picked up a chair and threw it, he said. Pettie said he
caught the chair, but not before it hit Kissick.
Emrich said one of Thomas' companions grabbed a chair and "brandished" it in
the direction of the man. But he said he saw no one toss a chair, and no one
hit by one.
He said that when he first saw Thomas at the Denny's, he chatted with him
briefly after identifying himself as a KRLD reporter. Thomas was cordial, he
said.
Emrich said that when the fight broke out, his first impulse was to leave
because he didn't "want to be in the middle of this."
Thomas, he said, appeared to be getting up to leave at the same time. As he
headed out the door, he said, "Tim Thomas was walking more or less to the
side and bend behind me."
Pettie said of the confrontation: "It was juvenile. It was like a bunch of
high school kids. It reminded me of high school. The popular kids picking on
lower classmen. That’s how they acted. (Thomas) acted like a big bully kid
in high school.
Pettie said that he is not gay, but that some of the friends who were with
him are lesbian.
Colleen Kissick, 29, the daughter of the woman struck by the chair, said and
her mother had been out celebrating her mother’s 65th birthday. They had
just gotten their food when the fight erupted without warning.
“Everybody was throwing chairs and flipping tables,” she said. “It was
just like an explosion.”
Kissick, who called 911, says the man who struck Pettie got into a Mercedes
with a woman. She says the woman threatened to kill her if she gave police
the car's license plate number.
“I don’t understand why grown men would act like that in a public place,”
Colleen Kissick said.
