Rockets guard Beverley briefly arrested on traffic warrant

HOUSTON (AP) — Rockets point guard Patrick Beverley was briefly arrested Wednesday on a misdemeanor warrant for a Houston-area traffic violation before being released when he paid a $321 fine.

The team says Beverley, who missed the Rockets' morning shootaround, has resolved issues related to vehicle registration and an electronic toll road pass.

Beverley said an expired credit card was linked to his toll tag.

"They were charging me for my old credit card and it became a warrant," he said. "And that's why I went to jail."

The Rockets said the team considers the matter closed and Beverley was available to face the Nets on Wednesday night.
