LaLa Vasquez is Carmelo Anthony's fiancee

LaLa is Carmelo Anthony’s basketball fiancee. She became engaged to the Denver Nuggets star on Christmas Day in 2004. They have one child together. 

The couple was in the news this week, as Carmelo was pulled over and, after failing a series of sobriety tests, arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. He called LaLa to pick him up, but she declined.

If you’ve ever been arrested or know someone who has, you know that the cops aren’t normally inclined to drive you home if you can’t find a ride. They just throw you in the drunk tank and hope someone comes to get you in the morning. Of course, that isn’t what happened in Carmelo’s case.

When LaLa couldn’t give him a ride, a police officer drove him back to his hotel. Apparently this cop hadn’t heard of Anthony’s Stop Snitchin video that encouraged Baltimore kids not to cooperate with police, less they face the wrath of those they snitched on.

News of the free cab ride angered a lot of people who said that Anthony received special treatment, but I have never in my life heard someone say that being driven home by a cop is a desirable end to an evening.
