Rafer Alston has been arrested for a second time
Houston Rockets guard Rafer Alston has been arrested for a second time in three weeks - this time on a charge that he "slashed" a man in a Manhattan club on Monday.
He was also arrested on Aug. 5 for allegedly shaking a parking attendant and spitting in his face during a drunken rage after his car was towed. The latest trouble started when a member of Alston's entourage got into an argument with a 41-year-old man at the club. It quickly escalated into a brawl, and at one point Alston slashed the man, sources said.
Alston's attorneys say that he's innocent and both cases are motivated by money. But with so much competition at point guard in Houston, Alston has probably officially lost his job, and possibly his spot on the roster.
