The Dallas fan who screamed “Fire Nico” in Nico Harrison‘s face on Monday night says his phone was taken and thrown to the ground shortly after the incident … and now, he tells TMZ Sports he’s planning to file a police report over the whole ordeal.
Chris Taylor said the wild, phone-smashing scene went down at American Airlines Center during the Mavs’ tilt with the Nets … roughly an hour or so after he got in Harrison’s grill and stated he should be canned.

Taylor told us team and arena officials approached him and were furious with him over his interaction with Harrison. He says later, a man who he believes was affiliated with them sat down behind him … and got physical with him when he whipped out his phone to video the scene.
Taylor stated the guy grabbed him, took his phone and hurled it to the ground. He added that, thankfully, a new case prevented it from being destroyed.
He told us, though, when he went to report the incident to Mavericks staffers and arena guards — nothing was done … and he believes it’s because they were all in cahoots with one another after his run-in with Harrison.
Taylor said he’s going to cops soon to report what happened.
“I feel like a crime was committed and I feel like [the Mavericks] not doing anything is part of it,” Taylor said. “I feel like it was a setup, to a certain extent.”
“I feel like I’d be an idiot to not file a police report after what happened to me last night,” he added.
Taylor said he has not heard from the Mavericks since the game’s conclusion.

When we reached out to the team on Tuesday for comment, they did not get back to us.
Taylor — the anti-Harrison fan who actually got into a previous altercation at American Airlines Center with Mark Cuban earlier this season — said despite the issues, he’s been getting “overwhelming support” from fans for speaking out against the franchise following the Luka Doncic trade.
He also mentioned he hasn’t been banned from games … at least, not yet.
Young Buck
Arrested, Booked Into Tennessee Jail
Published
Young Buck is back in a familiar spot … a jail cell in Tennessee — this time, it’s over some missed meetings with his bond supervisor.
The G-Unit rapper was booked into jail Monday afternoon in Sumner County for 30 days, as seen in online records.
Eric Mauldin, Assistant District Attorney for Sumner County, TN, tells TMZ … Young Buck was supposed to meet twice a month with his supervisor while on bond supervision, with GPS monitoring, for two cases — a drug case and a domestic violence case.
Because of that, the D.A. filed a motion for a hearing, which took place on April 7. During the hearing, the judge sentenced YB to 30 days in county jail.
After that, there’ll be another hearing to reconsider his bond, and decide whether any bond should be set.
Young Buck is no stranger to jail time … he was arrested in Nashville in February 2022 and booked on a vandalism charge for allegedly kicking the crap out of his girlfriend’s car.

We broke the stories … Young Buck spent a weekend in federal lockup in August 2016 after prosecutors claimed he violated his probation, when he got arrested and jailed a few weeks earlier — after cops in Tennessee claimed he threatened to burn down his ex-girlfriend’s apartment.
Buck also served an 18-month prison sentence for gun possession … he checked in to prison in August 2012 and did his time at Yazoo City Medium Security Federal Prison in Southern Mississippi.

Weezer
Wife of Bassist Shot by Cops …
Booked for Attempted Murder
Published
The wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner was shot by cops during a wild chase in L.A. … TMZ has learned, and then she was booked for attempted murder.
LAPD officers responded to a hit-and-run Tuesday on a freeway winding through the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles. Three suspects fled the scene on foot. One bailed out of his vehicle, climbed over a freeway embankment and ended up on a residential street.
The suspect stripped off some of his clothing, trying to blend into the neighborhood — it didn’t work.
As cops scoured the area, setting up barricades and blocking off streets, Scott’s wife, Jillian Lauren emerged from their house … gun in hand as she began firing, according to a law enforcement source, presumably at the suspect.
Officers yelled at her to drop the weapon, but cops say she ignored multiple commands, and they fired, striking her shoulder. She then ran back into the house.

30 minutes later, Lauren and her babysitter emerged from the house with their hands up, and surrendered to cops.
Law enforcement tells TMZ, Lauren was taken to a hospital and booked for attempted murder.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Lauren has led a colorful life … she wrote a book, “Some Girls: My Life in a Harem,” which chronicles her time as a “guest” of the Prince of Brunei.
The incident went down as Weezer is set to perform at Coachella this weekend.
The suspect was apprehended … the other 2 are still on the loose.
