Glen Rice's Son Arrested for Battery at Miami Gardens Strip Club

Son of former Heat star accused of punching door man at Tootsie's Cabaret

The son of former Miami Heat guard Glen Rice was arrested after allegedly punching a door man at a Miami Gardens strip club.

Glen Anthony Rice, 26, was arrested on a battery charge at Tootsie's Cabaret on Northwest 183rd Street early Tuesday, according to an arrest report.

Rice was booked into the Miami-Dade jail and was later released. Attorney information wasn't available.

According to the arrest report, Rice was seen running out of Tootsie's followed by security. A door man told officers Rice had been complaining about the service inside.

The door man asked if Rice wanted to speak with a manager and he said no, then Rice punched the door man in the face twice, the report said.

After he was put in a police car, Rice said he "got into it with [the door man] because he said something out of the way to his sister," the report said.

Glen Rice played for the Heat from 1989 to 1995 and was a three-time NBA All-Star. His son was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers after a college career at Georgia Tech, but played in a total of 16 games over two seasons with the Washington Wizards before he was waived by the team in 2015.
