Charges dropped against ex-NBA guard Ben Gordon, arrested after juice shop disturbance

On Monday, several criminal accusations against Ben Gordon, the former NBA player, were dismissed following his 2023 arrest at a juice shop in Stamford on his 40th birthday.
Gordon was taken into custody after multiple 911 calls reported his erratic and aggressive behavior, which occurred shortly following UConn’s achievement of its fifth NCAA men's basketball title.
Gordon, who was the third overall pick by the Chicago Bulls in the 2004 NBA draft and played 11 NBA seasons, completed a probation program approved by a state judge last year.
Gordon emphasized the importance of mental health, saying that because of his dedication to making positive choices, the court decided to seal his record and drop all charges against him.
The dismissal of charges and sealing of records indicate that the court acknowledged Gordon's efforts in managing his mental health challenges, including conditions he has linked to his past legal troubles.
