This from the felony criminal complaint filed yesterday against football star Plaxico Burress:

The informant observed the defendant holding a drink in his left hand while fidgeting with his right hand in the area of the waistline of his pants as he entered the upper VIP area of the Latin Quarter Club... Informant then heard a 'pop' sound and defendant stated in substance "Take me to a hospital." Informant then observed defendant's legs begin to shake and as the defendant's legs were shaking, informant observed a pistol fall out of the defendant's pant leg onto the floor.

Well, as if that wasn't stupid enough, Burress refused to call the police, choosing to got to a hospital where he used a false name and wasn't entirely honest about the details of the event.

Not only does Burress face imprisonment, he New York State Department of Health has launched an investigation to determine if the hospital that treated Plaxico Burress engaged in a conspiracy to hide information, after reports that hospital workers failed to report the gunshot wound, as required by New York law.

Failing to report a gunshot injury to cops is a class A misdemeanor.
