More info about this case (by David Pick) B.C. Habikaa dazzled the Israeli basketball fans tonight (Wednesday) addressing the media with an aggressive email message revealing, 'Panamanian guard Danilo Pinnock was released after marijuana was found in his apartment during a Friday night party.' The letter continued accusing Pinnock of keeping valuable information from the team as police authorities informed the club of what happened. However, Pinnock and other members of the festivity indeed were arrested and taken to custody, but were released the very same night with no charges, without paying any bails or bonds and without a court hearing date. Pinnock told Eurobasket via cellular phone 'I didn't use any drugs, I never failed a drug test in my life and I'm happy to take any test to prove so before I leave.' Yesterday during practice, Pinnock found out he wouldn't be getting a Christmas break, resulting into him not seeing his three young children for nearly 10 months. Pinnock who's going through a divorce sent the team's owner an email saying he can't stay in Israel a full season without seeing his kids and that it's important to him to be with them during the holidays. The owner responded to his email with an 'OK' and a promise to arrange a flight ticket to Panama. Yet, literally hours later, the team released its official letter accusing Pinnock of marijuana possession. When asked why he didn't inform the team, Pinnock said 'the team did know about what happened. The night we played Galil (Sunday) I got hit in the head and went to the hospital with the team's GM (Effi Shemesh) and we talked about the situation for a little while. I wanted to leave the team to see my kids so it hurts me that they did this. If I were to stay here, none of this would have happened and they would have covered it all up.' Now that his reputation both as a person and a player is in jeopardy, Pinnock tries to stay positive, 'I know I was in a situation I shouldn't have been in. Obviously I would love to come back and play in Israel, but I doubt that will ever happen because I'll be looked at as a drug user and unfortunately, it will haunt me anywhere I go now.' Pinnock leaves Israel after playing five games with Habikaa, posting averages of 14.2ppg, 6.6rpg and 2.4aspg and 2.8spg, including a crucial game winning buzzer-beater against Bnei Hasharon helping his former team hold a 3-2 record.
