The 20-year-old daughter of NBA star Scottie Pippen was arrested early Sunday morning in an inebriated state. The celebrity child is accused of urinating publicly in the hotel lobby and resisting arrest.
According to The Gazette, Iowa City police got a complaint around 1:30 am that daughter of former Chicago Bulls, Sierra M.Pippen, entered the hotel Sheraton Inn in an intoxicated state, urinated on floor of lobby and left. The hotel staff present at the spot identified the celebrity child instantly from an ugly fight happened at the hotel on April 10.
On their arrival, police found Sierra in the walkway next to the hotel. The University of Iowa student reportedly reeked of alcohol at the time of arrest and had bloodshot watery eyes. Sierra also refused to undergo post-arrest preliminary breath test and accused the arresting officer of being racist.
Sierra was probably on a partying spree as she was wearing two bar wristbands at the time of arrest. She was later arrested on charges of intoxication and public urination. New York Daily News updated that the celebrity child was later released from jail around 10 a.m. on Sunday, after posting $500 bond.
This was not the first time that Sierra's stint at the hotel Sheraton Inn created a stir. On April 10, Pip's daughter was taken into custody in a drunken state from the same hotel after a verbal altercation with the staff. Sierra's campus is at a walking distance from the spot.
Sierra's father, who was a six-time NBA champion, is still considered as one of the best small forwards of all time. He is the only player in the world to have won an NBA title and Olympic gold medal in the same year twice, in 1992 and in 1996.
Despite having an illustrious and successful career, the 49-year-old former star is reportedly facing extreme financial issues and has lost $120 million due to poor planning and bad business decisions.
