James Harden will not face charges from his June arrest in Houston after completing an alternative resolution agreement. The NBA free agent was charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon during a traffic stop where officers observed a handgun in plain view. After his arrest on a $100 bond, the Cleveland Cavaliers acknowledged the incident but did not comment further. With the charge now dropped, Harden is expected to sign a multi-year contract to return to the Cavaliers, allowing him to prepare for an uninterrupted regular season ahead.
