Melo's Son Can Have His Cake and Eat it Too

A run-in with the law almost spoiled Carmelo Anthony's son, Kiyan's 1st birthday party.

A Littleton police officer pulled over a 2006 Dodge Magnum for running a stop sign near the Aspen Grove shopping center. The officer made contact with the driver in front of Champps restaurant, 7301 S. Santa Fe Drive.

The driver of the car reportedly apologized to the officer for running the stop sign, stating, "Yeah, sorry, I just left Melo's house."

The officer determined the driver, 46-year-old Daniel Young, had his license suspended due to multiple outstanding charges, including failure to pay child support.

As the officer placed handcuffs on Young, Young asked, "Can I ask one favor? Can I have someone come and pick up this cake? It is supposed to go to Carmelo Anthony's kid's birthday party."

According to police reports, the officer impounded Young's car and "released the cake" to a friend of Anthony's.

Denver Nuggets director of media relations Eric Sebastian said, "That's his (Anthony's) own deal, it has nothing to do with the Nuggets." But he did say that Young is Melo's personal chef.
