James Harden
Mug Shot Released
… After Weapon Arrest
Published
James Harden didn’t look too thrilled to be posing for a mug shot early Saturday morning … with the NBA star giving a blank stare after his gun-related arrest.
TMZ Sports has obtained the booking photo from the Houston Police Department … showing the 36-year-old Cleveland Cavaliers guard staring down the camera lens.
As we previously reported, Harden was taken into custody around 3:41 AM when a handgun was observed on the seat of his car and not in a holster after being pulled over for a traffic violation.
He was charged with misdemeanor unlawful carrying of a weapon … and was released after paying a $100 bond.
He has a court date set for later this month.
The Cavs said they were aware of the arrest and working on gathering more information.
Harden had 20.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 7.7 assists this past season … playing half of the campaign with the Wine and Gold after a trade from the L.A. Clippers.
The Cavs were ultimately booted from the postseason in the Eastern Conference Finals … losing to the eventual NBA champions, the New York Knicks.
