Why was Isaiah Rider arrested? Former Lakers star is in police custody in a case related to his wife Vanessa

Isaiah Rider was arrested again Thursday night, his third arrest in less than two months, this time on a misdemeanor charge for failing to comply with a court order. Maricopa County jail records show the former NBA Slam Dunk champion was booked Friday morning, pleaded guilty, and is expected to remain in custody until Tuesday.

The charge traces back to a protective order his estranged wife, Vanessa, obtained last year. Rider, 55, has now been arrested twice before in connection with that same order, and the latest booking keeps a messy divorce and custody dispute firmly in public view.
