Ben Gordon hospitalized for psychiatric evaluation following arrest
He was arrested after a confrontation between him and a woman
Former NBA star Ben Gordon was hospitalized for psychiatric evaluation over the weekend after Mount Vernon police responded to a confrontation between him and a woman at Gordon's downtown business.
Gordon, 34, was not charged in the incident, which lasted about two hours as police freed the 31-year-old woman from inside the Gramatan Avenue store before finding Gordon in the bathroom.
Following comes from Jonathan Bandler of Lohud:
"Just after noon on Saturday, police responded to a call for assistance at the store. The first two officers saw the distraught woman crying and shaking just inside the entrance, according to a police report.
She motioned that the door was locked and let them know Gordon was in the back of the business with a knife.
At least eight other officers soon arrived and Gramatan Avenue was shut down. A sergeant tried unsuccessfully to make contact with Gordon. A detective spotted Gordon through the glass with a box cutter in his possession, according to the report."
Gordon has played in the NBA for eleven years. He spent last season in the NBA G League with the Texas Legends.
