James Harden arrested in Houston on unlawful weapons charge

sportsJun 13, 202649162

Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden was arrested early Saturday in Houston and charged with misdemeanor unlawful carrying of a weapon. Police booked Harden into the Harris County Jail; he posted bond and was released hours later. The Cavaliers said they are aware of the arrest, are in contact with Harden and his representatives, and are gathering information. The matter matters because Harden is a former NBA MVP and a primary Cavs ball-handler, and the legal case could affect his availability and trigger team discipline.

Damn near everybody in that state had gun on them or next them all the time! It wouldn’t have anything to do with him being black would it?
