Tennis great Jimmy Connors has been charged with a misdemeanor for an altercation last week before a college basketball game.
Connors, an eight-time Grand Slam champion, was charged on Wednesday in Santa Barbara Superior Court with disrupting University of California Santa Barbara campus activities and refusing to leave a university facility.
His business manager, Karen Scott, says a man tried to pick a fight with Connors and his son before last Friday’s game and police asked him to leave. Scott says Connors was arrested after he told police he wanted to wait for his son to finish watching the game.
Connors was ranked No. 1 for five consecutive years in the 1970s and had a fiery temperament on court.
