Glen Rice, a former three-time NBA All-Star and member of the 1999-2000 champion Los Angeles Lakers, was arrested on Friday and charged with felony battery after he beat a man who was hiding in his estranged wife’s closet.

Rice had apparently gone to the home of Christina Rice and found Alberto Perez hiding in a closet. The 6-foot-8 Rice then punched Perez several times before the he could flee. Perez then notified Miami police.

The former first-rounder surrendered to police and was released after posting $5,000 bond.

Rice finished his 15-year career as the NBA’s fourth all-time leader in three pointers made with 1,559.
