Steeler is no stealer
The always affable Hines Ward remained composed during a misunderstanding with Los Angeles police early yesterday. The Pittsburgh Steelers star and Dancing With the Stars contestant was riding in a car with a friend when they were pulled over by officers, TMZ.com reported. Both were briefly detained at gunpoint and handcuffed in North Hollywood because the car had been reported stolen. It turns out that his friend had reported the car stolen on April 19 after forgetting where she had parked it, but she hadn't alerted police after finding it, the Los Angeles Times said. Ward - who police say was cooperative - was released after the woman proved ownership of the vehicle
