So do you ask him for an autograph before he handcuffs you, or after:

Shaquille O'Neal was present during a botched child pornography raid last month while working in Virginia as a reserve sheriff's deputy.

The Miami Heat center, who pursues his interest in law enforcement during the offseason, denied Tuesday taking part in serving the search warrant at the wrong house Sept. 23. However, Bedford County Sheriff's Lt. Michael Harmony confirmed to The Associated Press that O'Neal was there.

The unfortunate residents of the house mistakenly raided did not report seeing Shaq, so I'm not sure who to believe. Sure, getting guns pointed in my face by lots of screaming men would be distracting, but then again so is a 7'1" 325-pound guy who's face was recently on every Pepsi machine in the world. Ya just never know.
