MARCH 5--Meet Ron Artest. The temperamental NBA star was arrested this morning on a spousal abuse rap after police responded to his California home following a 911 call from the athlete's wife. The Sacramento Kings star, who was charged with domestic violence and using force to keep a victim from reporting a crime, was booked into the Placer County jail, where the below mug shot was snapped. The 27-year-old Artest is one of basketball's most volatile personalities and was at the center of the notorious 2004 'Malice at The Palace' brawl, which resulted in his suspension for 73 games.
