He was expected to be charged with resisting arrest, among other charges, the sources said.
The incident wasn’t the first run-in with the law for Gordon, who was raised in Mount Vernon, N.Y.
In November 2017, police in Harlem stopped him for driving with fake Florida license plates on his Mercedes G-Class SUV.
A Manhattan judge ordered he complete 10 days of community service for the case to be dismissed after six months.
It was the third time that year he had a brush with law enforcement. A judge ordered him to undergo psychiatric treatment after a woman called police when he locked the two of them inside his Mount Vernon business.
