PRC Local 2 Sports has confirmed Sunday night that Rockets guard Rafer Alston was arrested early Sunday morning on charges of public intoxication and assault. Alston was taken into custody by Houston Police in Downtown Houston at 2:45 Sunday morning and was booked into the Southeast Patrol station on Mykawa. Alston has not returned to KPRC Local 2 Sports but Rockets GM Daryl Morey, in a statement to KPRC Local 2 Sports stated: “We are aware of the situation and are attempting to get more details about the incident," Morey said. " While we do not have all the facts yet, it is nevertheless very disappointing to have one of our players involved with any police activity. We will continue working with the authorities in order to get to the bottom of the situation.”</p> </p> http://www.click2houston.com/sports/13826835/detail.html </p>
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (TucsonClip)</div><div class='quotemain'> Interesting, considering the Rockets have 800 PGs this wont help Rafer's case.</p> </div></p> You're right. I think the Rockets should buy out his contract and get rid of him to save face. Then really, the only acceptable place for him to play is in a healthy lockeroom under the eye of a future-HOF PG... I think that based on the circumstances he deserves to make a little over 1 million dollars a year </p>

The Rockets should have hurried up and gotten rid of him before, now no other team will want him with an assualt case coming up and now this. I think that he should just be waived.
