Ex-NBA star Ben Gordon has found himself in trouble with the law once again, and there are some very troubling allegations in the latest incident.
According to reports, Gordon was arrested at LaGuardia Airport in New York on Monday while waiting to board a flight to Chicago. The 39-year-old former No. 3 overall pick is accused of striking his 10-year-old son.
TMZ Sports reports that witnesses allege Gordon struck his son in the head with a closed fist.
A family member took Gordon’s son to a local hospital for evaluation.
Gordon reportedly resisted arrest when the cops attempted to take him into custody, and two officers were injured during the arrest.
Things get even worse for Gordon from there, because the child reportedly had a restraining order against Gordon which raises the question of whether he should have been at the airport with Gordon in the first place.
Gordon has had multiple arrests since the end of his playing career, and also spoke out about his battle with depression where he said he was “obsessed with killing myself.”
