Guard says detective toasted Iverson

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- A former hotel security guard claims to have overheard a police detective make a toast to Allen Iverson's "next felony" last summer, days before the NBA star was charged with threatening two men with a gun, according to Iverson's attorneys.
Wesley Gregg told Iverson's lawyers he was working a late-evening shift at a Philadelphia hotel July 8 when he spotted the lead detective in the investigation dining with other officers at the hotel's bar and heard him boast "he is going down" when a news story about the 76ers star appeared on television.
"When the detectives got up to leave, Detective [Lt. Michael] Chitwood made a toast: 'This is for Iverson's next felony,"' Gregg said in a signed statement he gave Iverson's attorneys on July 24.
The lawyers never used the statement in court. Prosecutors dropped all charges against Iverson after the two men he allegedly threatened said they were unwilling to testify.
