In a report by Edward Lews of the New York Post, Lawson was arrested after being accused of allegedly stealing a $34 bottle of Tito's vodka. It was said that he allegedly berated police officers during the incident with profanity before eventually apologizing and being released.
"The 38-year-old was taken into custody by the Castle Rock Police Dept. at around 8 p.m. on July 16 after a liquor store worker accused him of drunkenly stealing a $34 bottle of vodka," Lewis reported. "Lawson, who allegedly took the bottle to a nearby restaurant, was confronted by police and thrown in handcuffs after he smelled 'of an unknown alcoholic substance,' according to the arrest affidavit.

"While in police control, Lawson was accused of being a nightmare to his arresting officer," Lewis continued. "Lawson screamed and called the cop 'b****' repeatedly and a 'white b****' during the pre-booking process, the arrest affidavit stated. He 'at times' kicked his cell's glass wall and yelled 'stop' repeatedly, according to the arrest affidavit. He did ultimately calm down and apologize for his behavior, the report stated."
This is not the first time th 38-year-old has had a run-in with the law, as he has been arrested several times throughout his NBA career dating back to 2008. Lawson played eight full seasons in the NBA before playing two overseas. He ended his NBA career averaging 12.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.2 steals per contest with a 46.0% shooting percentage.
