Rafer Alston Arrested

[Arrpy]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Houston Rockets guard Rafer Alston was arrested early Tuesday morning for allegedly slashing a man on the neck during a nightclub altercation, according to the New York Daily News. Alston, 31, was picked out of a lineup by the man, who reported the incident after driving himself to the hospital for treatment. A bouncer at Stereo, the trendy nightclub where the alleged assault took place, insisted nobody was stabbed. "I was in the middle of it. I walked Rafer and his brother out to their car. He didn't slash him," he told the paper. Alston was also charged with assault on Aug. 5 for allegedly spitting at a parking attendant in Houston. Alston is considered a playground legend in New York, where he is known as "Skip 2 My Lou."</div></p>

Rockets should hurry up and get rid of this guy, he was already on his way out of Houston already because of Francis's return and the Mike James tarde. They should try to package him for a PF but it might be difficult now that he's being trialed for assault, maybe they should just waive him.

Bad news for Rafer. </p>

Great news for the Rockets, as they can now get rid of him. Though they should have done that earlier.</p>

Seems to me this'll make it harder to get rid of him. Not a lot of teams are going to line up to acquire someone under indictment for stabbing some dude.
