When someone’s got a restraining order on you, don’t write on their Facebook wall. Trevor Mbakwe, a forward from Minnesota, couldn’t comprehend these rules and was arrested for violating a restraining order his ex-girlfriend had on him.
From the Huffington Post:
Police said Mbakwe was booked into Ramsey County Jail on misdemeanor charges after he posted a message on a St. Paul woman’s Facebook page. The woman had previously filed a restraining order against Mbakwe in Dakota County, and reported the contact to police.
University of Minnesota police took Mbakwe into custody at home near campus and brought him to jail. Bail was set at $500.
“We are aware of the charges that have been filed against Trevor,” Minnesota athletic director Joel Maturi said in a statement issued by the school. “Until we know all of the facts surrounding the charges it would be premature for us to have any further comment.”Mbakwe leads the Golden Gophers with 13.4 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. He transferred to Minnesota before last season, but was not allowed to play while facing a felony battery charge stemming from his days at Miami-Dade Community College.
No one could have seen this coming! His history was so spotless!
A player averaging a double-double is not someone you want getting arrested on your team. The backup-backup center is fine, because he’s not really doing that much. Minnesota’s ranked No. 25 in one poll and on the cusp of the other one, and without Mbakwe, they probably won’t fare a chance against No. 8 Purdue this Thursday. Mbakwe’s the leading rebounder on the team and second in points, so it’s up to Blake Hoffarber now. Uh.. good luck.
Oh yeah, some more news about this comes straight from Gopherhole.com (not to be confused with Gerbilhole.com, something that probably won’t interest you): Mbakwe could possibly be suspended for the season, which would totally screw Minnesota. It just goes to show that you shouldn’t write on people’s Facebook walls if they have a restraining order against you. What you do instead is make up a fake email, register it with Facebook, create a completely fake profile and THEN harass them. Amateur.

TREVOR Mbakwe…really?…so Mr. Mbakwe jumps off a zebra’s back and Mrs. Mbakwe says “let’s name our son TREVOR”?
Restraining orders are just suggestions anyway right?
Mbakwe is Swahili for bukake.
The University of Minnesota police then thanked Mbakwe for allowing them to make the easiest restraining order violation arrest ever.
How is it violation of a restraining order when he was just telling some chick about how he is a Nigerian prince with an assload of money to give away? Per PK, WHAT A COUNTRY!
His nation’s primary exports are bloodborne pathogens.
Wait, so she had a restraining order against him, but friended him on Facebook? And then complained that he was interacting with her on Facebook?
Score another one for our totally not-at-all-bullshit justice system.
He was probably asking for Yams for his Farmville Abode. Affectionately called “Pop Click Click knock” after his mother.
the restraining order violation came when he filled out a facebook survey about the girl entitled “how well do you know?”.
He wouldn’t have violated the order had he not answered the final question of “what am i wearing right now?” correctly, resulting in 100% on the survey.
In his defense restraining orders are infuriating.
