James Harden’s misdemeanor gun charge in Texas is dismissed after he completes an alternative resolution program, according to court accounts cited by multiple outlets. Harden is arrested in Houston on June 13 and charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon. After the completion of an alternative resolution agreement arranged through the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, the office requests dismissal of the case. A Harris County Criminal Court judge, identified by one outlet as Alex Salgado, dismisses the charge on Thursday. The dismissal means Harden avoids the criminal record associated with the original charge, as described in the reporting. None of the sources cite a public comment from Harden at the time of dismissal. The Athletic and Times of India also note Harden is expected to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers under a multiyear contract, framing the court outcome as a separate matter from his ongoing team status.
