Phoenix Suns forward Michael Beasley has found himself in the news, and once again it’s not for something positive.

Scottsdale Police confirmed they are investigating the 24-year-old for alleged sexual assault. According to police, the allegation stems from an incident that occurred on Jan. 13, 2013.

Police say the investigation is ongoing, and they are processing evidence and determining whether or not they plan to file criminal charges against Beasley.

This is not Beasley’s only run-in with police since joining the Suns prior to the 2012-13 season, as he was cited with multiple driving offenses in late January, including driving with a suspended license, driving with excessive speed, driving with expired registration and failure to display a license plate on the rear of the vehicle.
