Charles Oakley has deal on charges over melee at Knicks game

Aug 4, 2017 | 9:30 AM

NEW YORK — Former New York Knicks star Charles Oakley has reached a deal with prosecutors who charged him with striking a security guard at Madison Square Garden.

The Daily News (http://nydn.us/2wrXJ5a ) reports that charges against Oakley will be dismissed and sealed after six months of good behaviour.

Oakley said Friday that a trial would waste time and money that should be used to “keep the streets better for kids.”

His lawyer says Oakley didn’t need a trial to prove his innocence.

Oakley was a Knicks fan favourite from 1988 to 1998. But he’s had a falling out with the organization.

On Feb. 8, he sat a few rows from Knicks owner James Dolan at a game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Security approached and a fracas ensued. Oakley was ejected and handcuffed.
