Glen Rice Jr. has reportedly been arrested for battery and firearms were found at the scene too.

Glen Rice Jr., who last played for the Washington Wizards in 2015, has been arrested for the battery of Jordan Callahan, an ex-Tulane player.

According to TMZ Sports, Callahan pulled up to a Kroger in a white Porshe, intending to meet with Rice. Rice slugged Callahan in the face, then made off with two bags. After police arrested Rice, they found an AK-47 and a Taurus .38 special in the two bags along with an assortment of bullets. There was also another gun inside the Porsche. Rice also had six cell phones and $2,700 in cash on his person.

Rice was charged with felony robbery, aggravated robbery, and marijuana possession.

It’s unclear exactly what happened here, but it definitely wasn’t good. Just last October Rice was shot in the leg at T.I.’s Atlanta restaurant, then arrested for carrying half a pound of weed. The bag containing the weed was found near the scene and was identified as Rice’s after Rice’s passport was found in it.

How Callahan is related to the story is unrelated.

Glen Rice Jr. was dismissed from Georgia Tech before trying his hand at the NBA. He was considered a developmental project and was picked up by the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. Rice performed admirably for the Vipers and was taken by the 76ers in next year’s NBA draft. He was traded to the Washington Wizards shortly after that but didn’t last long in the league due to injuries.
