Overview
- Reports say Houston police arrested Harden after officers found a pistol visible and unholstered in his vehicle during a stop, with the accounts published on Saturday, June 13.
- According to those reports, Harden was taken to a Harris County police facility and released after posting a reported $100 bond.
- TMZ and other outlets say Harden is scheduled to appear in court on June 22 to answer charges related to the firearm allegation.
- At the time of reporting, Harden and his representatives had not commented and outlets noted they were unable to secure a statement from his camp.
- Texas law generally allows gun ownership but prohibits firearms that are loose and openly visible, a legal detail that frames the allegation and could complicate Harden’s offseason decisions about his contract and public profile.
