I was in high school in the Tidewater area of Virginia during the time "Chuck" (Bubbachuck, Allen, A.I., etc...) was "breakin' ankles and droppin' jaws" on the court/field at Bethel High School in Hampton. I saw him play on several occassions during that time -- and words can't describe some of things he did, in both sports.
I know "Arnie" through a third party. Chuck, Arnie and another cat name Marlon were damn near inseparable; where one goes... the other two go.
Arnie is a few years older than Chuck, but he really looked out for Chuck while he (Chuck) was growing up in Newport News and in Hampton. That's why Chuck had/has such loyalty to his crew; even when people were telling him he needs to distance himself from them.
After Chuck went to the League -- Arnie and Marlon basically relocated with him to Philly -- and for a quick minute to Denver.
Well, word has it... Chuck finally cut them off. Hence the extortion/blackmail attempt by Arnie and why he was arrested back home in Hampton.
Anyway, thought this story was pretty interesting after all these years of such loyalty
