NBA Star James Harden Arrested in Houston on Weapons Charge

James Harden's arrest in Houston on a misdemeanor weapon charge highlights a new legal development for the NBA star. The police reported he was detained around 3:41 a.m. on Saturday, June 13, and charged with unlawfully carrying a handgun in Texas, apparently visible inside his vehicle without a holster. Harden, 36, was released later that day on a $100 bond, and his court date is set for June 22. Harris County records confirm the charge, while authorities have not disclosed why the stop occurred. Harden's representatives and the Houston Police Department did not respond to requests for comment.
