FILE- Former UConn and NBA player Ben Gordon sits on the sideline during a ceremony honoring the 2004 men’s championship basketball team during halftime of an NCAA college basketball game, Sunday, Jan. 28, 2024, in Hartford, Conn. Gordon, who was arrested after a Connecticut juice shop disturbance last year, could see the charges erased from his record, under a probation program approved by a judge Monday, March 25, 2024.
Police said several 911 callers reported that Gordon was acting aggressively and bizarrely. Gordon continued to act erratically when officers arrived, and they forced him to the ground and handcuffed him outside the store, authorities said. His lawyer, Darnell Crosland, said Gordon has struggled with mental health problems but is doing much better. He said Gordon became upset at the juice shop when his bank card was declined, even though he had plenty of money in his account. The anger was exacerbated by a special diet he was on, Crosland said.
The third overall pick in the 2004 NBA draft by the Chicago Bulls, Gordon played 11 seasons in the league. As a rookie for the Bulls, he won the NBA’s Sixth Man Award. After five seasons in Chicago, he went on to play for Detroit, Charlotte and Orlando.
