Derek Anderson Observed an Overnight Police Standoff in Charlotte, Tweeted Out the Whole Thing
By Mike Cardillo
Professional athletes … sometimes they’re just like us. Take Carolina Panthers backup quarterback Derek Anderson, who observed an early-morning standoff from his home in uptown Charlotte. Anderson, like many of us, took to Twitter to report what was going on below. Anderson, as you can see, is a very early riser. Observered
Got a stand off in uptown this am! Police chase then an accident.. Got the negotiator on the mega phone now!

No response for the last 30 mins from the suspect. Assuming by the giant hole in the building the suspect isn't doing well!

"What's done is done lets end this peacefully" he keeps shouting

Third floor window has had a spotlight on it all morning.. Doesn't seem that they have made it area of the building yet!

Hard to believe they been in that building this long and can't find the suspects...

Just realized getting to Starbucks was gonna stink

The question here, does Anderson gain or lose points for failing to finish off the Twitter episode with a picture of his Starbucks cup?
