  ESPN.com - NBA - Charge might violate Polynice's probation
HOLLADAY, Utah -- Former Utah Jazz center Olden Polynice was charged Tuesday with hitting and spitting on a Salt Lake County man during a fight at a golf course.
Polynice's attorney, Gary Gitlin, said the evidence won't support a conviction because, according to a sheriff's report, there were no independent witnesses and the alleged victim had no marks on his face.
If Polynice is convicted, he could be found in violation of his probation in the road-rage incidents.
