Charles Oakley appeared at a Manhattan criminal court Tuesday morning for an arraignment hearing stemming from misdemeanor charges he faces after a scuffle with Madison Square Garden security during a February Knicks game.
After a three-minute hearing, Oakley was ordered to file motions by May 16 and appear again on May 30. He faces three counts of misdemeanor assault in the third degree and criminal trespassing.
Dressed in a dark suit, Oakley was the first of about 125 cases called before judge Judy Kim at the lower Manhattan courthouse. The former Knicks player remained silent while the prosecutor read the charges during the brief three-minute hearing.
