BREAKING: An Arrest Warrant Has Been Issued For Troubled Former Chicago Bulls Star
A warrant has been issued for the arrest of former Chicago Bulls star Ben Gordon after he failed to show up in court last week for charges stemming from a fight with two security guards at the McDonald's in River North in November.
Gordon, 39, was arrested at the McDonald's at 600 N. Clark St. on Nov. 4, after knocking two security guards to the ground, according to a police report.
In 2017, the former NBA Sixth Man of the Year was arrested for pulling a fire alarm in an apartment building in Los Angeles. He was also arrested and charged with robbing the manager of a residential complex where he lived that same year. The charges were dropped following a «civil compromise.»
The Bulls drafted Gordon as the third overall pick in 2004. He joined the Detroit Pistons five years later, spending three years there before signing with Charlotte Bobcats and then the Orlando Magic.
Gordon was charged a few months ago with assault, resisting arrest, contempt, and child endangerment in New York for allegedly punching his young son at LaGuardia Airport.
According to the Queens district attorney's office, witnesses, including an American Airlines employee, saw Gordon yell at his son and punch him several times after the boy dropped a book on the ground.
Gordon later confirmed to police that it was his son. Gordon also allegedly assaulted officers as they attempted to handcuff him and put him in a patrol car.
