sniff::! It took me forever, but i found an article about it!


PHOENIX (03-19-1999 19:17 EST) -- When nature calls,
sometimes it just can't wait. At least, that was Chicago Cubs
pitcher Kerry Wood's defense when two Scottsdale police
officers caught him and a friend urinating against a parking lot
wall on Feb. 13.

"I can't stop now. I have to finish," Wood told the police
officers, who caught him at approximately 1:10 a.m. behind a
strip of businesses and night clubs.

Officer Brian Brown said Wood's demeanor was "cooperative."

Kevin Walker, a minor league pitcher with the San Diego
Padres, was also caught in the act.

Officer Jennifer Clair described Walker as intoxicated and
sarcastic, but still cooperative.

The police report didn't indicate where Wood and Walker were
before the incident.

Wood, the 1998 National League Rookie of the Year, missed
his original court date of Feb. 23, causing Judge Joseph
Olcavage to issue a warrant for his arrest. Wood has since taken
care of the citation, paying a $90 fine and pleading guilty during
his rescheduled court date of March 12, said a representative of
the Scottsdale Municipal Court on Friday.

Cubs spokeswoman Sharon Pannozzo said the team has no
comment.

Wood tore a ligament in his right elbow Saturday and won't be
able to play this season for the Cubs, who are currently training
in nearby Mesa.

Walker, 22, also missed his court date and the warrant for his
arrest is still outstanding. Padres spokesman John Dever said he
knew nothing about the incident. The Padres' spring training is
based in the Phoenix suburb of Peoria.

Officer Scott Reed said hundreds of public urination arrests are
made each year in the same area of Scottsdale.

news?! Oh well...guess i better go!
