Alston in all sorts of trouble

Houston Rockets point guard Rafer Alston was released without bail on Tuesday after being charged with stabbing a man at a Manhattan nightspot – his second brush with the law this month. New York police arrested Alston Sunday night on felony assault charges after responding to a brawl at a nightclub. A criminal complaint alleges that amid the ruckus, he slashed another clubgoer in the neck. The arrest came three weeks after Alston was charged with misdemeanour assault on a parking lot attendant and public intoxication in Houston.

I give Alston credit for bringing it old school though. But to beat this rap, Rafer should just tell the judge he mistook the guy in the club for T-Mac, and the court would sentence him to finish the job in training camp.
