Miami Heat center Greg Oden has found himself in a bit of hot water on Thursday morning. It is being reported by WTHR, an NBC affiliate in Indianapolis, Indiana, that Oden has been arrested on a battery charge.
Outside of that simple bit of information, not much else is known at that time but when charging documents are filed or released later today more information could come out, like where the incident occurred and who it involved.
Still it isn’t a good look for Oden who was trying to get his career back on track with the Heat.

And on a side note, look at the shirt he is wearing in his mugshot. It is an Ohio State shirt with the “H” being made by Marcus Hall as he leaves the field after being ejected from the game against the Michigan Wolverines at Michigan Stadium.
