Ty Lawson, a former college basketball star and NBA player, was arrested over the weekend in Spain after multiple altercations, including one at an airport after Lawson was told to wear a mask.
The Prince George’s County, Maryland, native was about to board his flight at Barajas Airport in Madrid when two Iberia Airlines employees asked him to mask up. According to Enrique Bernaola of Marca, Lawson then threatened to punch one of the staff members and security guards intervened.
After his flight landed, Lawson got into two altercations at a restaurant and was arrested.
