Khloe Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend arrested for misdemeanor

Khloe Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend has been arrested on weapons charges.

NBA star James Harden, who currently plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers - was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of unlawfully carrying a weapon in Texas.

According to a charging document filed by the Harris County District Attorney's Office and obtained by PEOPLE, the 36-year-old basketball star was carrying a handgun outside of a holster in plain view inside his vehicle when he was pulled over by police.

In a statement to PEOPLE, a representative for the team said, "The Cleveland Cavaliers are aware of the arrest of James Harden this morning and are in the process of gathering additional information.”

"We are in contact with James and his representation and will continue to monitor developments as they become available. At this time, we will have no further comment,” they added.

Harden dated reality TV star Khloé Kardashian between 2015 and 2016 and Khloe previously claimed their split was due to his infidelity.

Speaking on Kocktails with Khloe, she said, "I just don't want to put up with people that you want to be monogamous, but then you're not monogamous. I'm not into…Like I've always said, 'We don't have to be monogamous' There's a lot of s*** going on in our lives. You live in Houston. I live in LA. Let's see each other when we see each other.'

“I'm not telling you I'm not going to hang out with you, I just said, 'Hey, listen. This is unfair' What? Let's be committed. Let's do…I was like, great, this guy's in it for the long haul. Let's do it…Found out that he wasn't, and I got the receipts to prove it,” Khloe Kardashian claimed at that time of her ex’s infidelity.
