Khloe Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend has been arrested on weapons charges.
NBA star James Harden – who currently plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers - was arrested on a misdemeanour charge of unlawfully carrying a weapon in Texas on Saturday (13.06.26).
According to a charging document filed by the Harris County District Attorney's Office and obtained by PEOPLE, the 36-year-old basketball star was carrying a handgun outside of a holster in plain view inside his vehicle when he was pulled over by police.
Harden was released on a bond of $100 and his hearing is set for June 22.
In a statement to PEOPLE, a representative for the team said, "The Cleveland Cavaliers are aware of the arrest of James Harden this morning and are in the process of gathering additional information.
"We are in contact with James and his representation and will continue to monitor developments as they become available. At this time, we will have no further comment."
Harden dated reality TV star Khloé Kardashian between 2015 and 2016 and Khloe previously claimed their split was due to his infidelity.
Speaking on Kocktails with Khloe, she said: "I just don't want to put up with people that you want to be monogamous, but then you're not monogamous. I'm not into…Like I've always said, 'We don't have to be monogamous' There's a lot of s*** going on in our lives. You live in Houston. I live in LA. Let's see each other when we see each other.'
“I'm not telling you I'm not going to hang out with you, I just said, 'Hey, listen. This is unfair' What? Let's be committed. Let's do…I was like, great, this guy's in it for the long haul. Let's do it…Found out that he wasn't, and I got the receipts to prove it.”
However, James denied the claims and insisted their split was due to the pressures of fame.
He told Sports Illustrated: “I didn't like all the attention. I felt like it was for no reason. I wasn't getting anything out of it except my name out there and my face out there, and I don't need that. It wasn't uncomfortable, but it wasn't me. I don't need pictures of myself when I'm driving my car. Who cares? What shoes am I wearing? Who cares? Where am I eating? Who cares? It was unnecessary stuff that I think trickled down to my teammates. I had to eliminate that."
