Former NBA guard Ben Gordon, known for his time with the Chicago Bulls and UConn Huskies, has been granted the opportunity to have charges stemming from a 2023 incident at a juice shop in Connecticut erased from his record. The charges, which included weapons and threatening offenses, could be expunged if Gordon successfully completes an 18-month probation program that runs until September 2025.
Gordon's arrest occurred on his 40th birthday, shortly after UConn secured its fifth NCAA men's basketball championship. Police responded to reports of Gordon behaving aggressively and erratically at the Juice Kings shop in Stamford. Upon arrival, officers found Gordon in possession of a folding knife, a stun gun, and brass knuckles.
