Tuesday, June 16, 2026 - NBA superstar James Harden’s mugshot has been released after his arrest for a weapon charge.
The Cleveland Cavaliers player was arrested on Saturday in
Houston on a misdemeanor charge of unlawful carrying of a weapon in a motor
vehicle, according to the Harris County District Clerk’s Office.
Harden was arrested at 3:41 a.m. and booked just before 5
a.m. He posted $100 bond and was released from police custody, according to
charging documents, which said he had a handgun in plain view and was not
secured in a holster.
Harris County records show Harden was released from jail on
bond later Saturday morning and given an arraignment date of June 22.
However, the records also show that hearing date was
rescheduled on Monday to Aug. 3.
Harden, according to the records, has hired high-powered
Texas attorney Rusty Hardin to represent him in the case. Hardin has previously
repped several famous professional athletes, including Deshaun Watson when the
NFL quarterback was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple massage
therapists.
In Harden’s mugshot, which was provided by the HPD on
Monday, he could be seen wearing a black T-shirt and a stern look on his face.
