JJ Hickson Arrested For Armed Robbery

Do you remember JJ Hickson? He was drafted 19th overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2008 NBA draft and played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Sacramento Kings, Denver Nuggets, Portland Trail Blazers, and Washington Wizards in the NBA.

Hickson is the latest former NBA player to have problems with the authorities. He was arrested and charged with armed robbery and home invasion in the Atlanta area.

“The victim was beat up pretty good and they took some personal items from the residence, and at that point in time, through the help of a canvass, we were able to identify a suspect and a suspect vehicle. We were able to identify a suspect from that,” Captain John Kennedy of the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office told Kerry Charles of Fox 5 Atlanta.

Hickson had his best season in 2012 season, when he averaged almost 13 points and 11 rebounds per game.
