Former Bulls player Ben Gordon was arrested at LaGuardia Airport in New York after he allegedly struck his 10-year-old son.
According to a report by TMZ, an airline employee told police she saw Gordon hit the child Monday night. Authorities took the child to a local hospital and arrested Gordon. The TMZ report also said Gordon violated a restraining order by taking the child out of Illinois.
But a former girlfriend of Gordon’s named Ashley Banks told the New York Post that the Gordon did not hit the child. Banks claims Gordon was targeted with a false accusation because he is a celebrity.
