Breaking News: Hoe Jarris Hospitalized, Jailed Following Violent Attack by Shaman Fans
August 7th—Atlantic City, NJ: Shocking news has emerged regarding Atlantic City Sea Dogs' star, Hoe Jarris, following his team's first-round playoff exit in the Gold Standard Basketball playoffs. On August 7th, after a devastating loss to the Ohio Shaman, Jarris, a former convict turned professional athlete, went to a local bar to reflect on the game, only to find himself the target of a violent attack.
Shaman fans, known as some of the most rowdy and aggressive in the league, were captured on CCTV following Jarris as he left the bar. Footage shows the group harassing the Sea Dogs star before escalating into a violent attack. Despite the odds, Jarris—an avid salsa dancer and a blue belt in karate—fought back bravely, incapacitating two of the attackers. However, the numbers eventually overwhelmed him.
Jarris sustained significant injuries, including a broken nose, fractured orbital bone, and multiple lacerations to his head. Medical personnel were forced to shave off his dreadlocks to treat his injuries, meaning Jarris will return to his iconic bald look, a stark contrast from his recent change following his experimental hair treatment in the previous offseason.
Adding to the chaos, Jarris was arrested after he woke up from surgery and destroyed the hospital recovery room in a fit of rage. The outburst was triggered by news that his long-time rival, Muddy Blunts, had won the GSB MVP award. Security was forced to restrain the enraged athlete before local authorities took him into custody. Jarris reportedly spent three hours in jail, during which he somehow managed to get tattoos covering both arms and his right hand, marking yet another chapter in his turbulent life.
Due to the injuries sustained, Jarris will now wear a protective mask during games, as his face remains sensitive to further damage. Despite this setback, the Sea Dogs star remains determined to continue his career in GSB. No comment has been made by the Ohio Shaman or their fan base regarding the incident. Jarris has now recovered from the incident and has been able to rejoin the Sea Dogs as they prepare for the upcoming season.
This violent incident, combined with the sudden disappearance of Sea Dogs guard Love Lockdown earlier in the week, has raised serious concerns about fan conduct and player safety in the GSB. Lockdown's unexplained absence has already rattled the Sea Dogs' roster, and now the attack on Jarris has sparked calls for tighter security measures around players, both on and off the court. GSB officials are reportedly reviewing security protocols, with many urging the league to implement stricter measures to prevent future incidents of harassment and violence.
