Glen Rice arrested on felony battery of man ‘Trapped in the Closet’?
Saturday, January 12, 2008
Retired professional basketball player Glen Rice must have felt as though he was filming chapter 23 of R. Kelly's 'Trapped in the Closet' when he went to his estranged wife's home on Friday morning. Published reports indicate that Rice confronted Christina Fernandez Rice about other men and went to the master bedroom to find Alberto Perez crouched in the closet.
After pummeling Perez and shouting obscenities, Rice ejected him from the bedroom; Perez ran from the house and called police. Rice, who retired from basketball in 2004, turned himself in law enforcement and later bonded out. Perez required nine stitches for a cut to his forehead.
Rice played on several teams including the Miami HEAT, Charlotte Hornets, NY Knicks and LA Lakers.
