Misdemeanor Gun Charge Against James Harden Dismissed by Texas Judge
Prosecutors dropped the misdemeanor weapons charge after Harden completed an alternative resolution agreement, ending the case.
- On Thursday, Harris County Criminal Court Judge Alex Salgado dismissed a misdemeanor weapons charge against All-Star Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden after he completed an alternative resolution program.
- Authorities arrested Harden on June 13 in Houston after a traffic stop revealed an unholstered handgun in his vehicle; Texas law classifies possessing a firearm "in plain view" without a license as a misdemeanor.
- The alternative resolution program allows defendants to avoid a criminal conviction by completing requirements like community service, ensuring the 11-time All-Star avoids a criminal record despite court documents not detailing specific terms.
- With the legal matter resolved, Harden can now focus on his future with the Cleveland Cavaliers after declining a $42.3 million option to return in favor of a longer contract.
- The Cavaliers remain committed to bringing Harden back as their starting point guard despite recent postseason struggles, though team officials face potential salary cap constraints that could complicate roster building.
