Former NBA Player Ben Gordon Arrested at LaGuardia Airport for Allegedly Hitting His Son
Former Chicago Bulls shooting guard Ben Gordon was arrested at LaGuardia Airport on Monday when he allegedly struck his child, sources said.
Gordon was arrested after he hit his 10-year-old son in the Queens airport, sources with knowledge of the incident said.
The child, escorted by his aunt, was transported to Long Island Jewish Hospital to be treated.
Gordon, 39, was being processed at the PAPD’s LaGuardia station house late Monday night, sources said.
He was expected to be charged with resisting arrest, among other charges, the sources said.
The incident wasn’t the first run-in with the law for Gordon, who was raised in Mount Vernon, N.Y.
In November 2017, police in Harlem stopped him for driving with fake Florida license plates on his Mercedes G-Class SUV.
A Manhattan judge ordered he complete 10 days of community service for the case to be dismissed after six months.
It was the third time that year he had a brush with law enforcement. A judge ordered him to undergo psychiatric treatment after a woman called police when he locked the two of them inside his Mount Vernon business.
