Former New York Knicks guard Gerald Wilkins was arrested this week, marking the third time he has been arrested since May 31. 

According to CBS46, Wilkins was arrested in Cobb County, Georgia, after allegedly throwing an object at a colleague and chasing them with a screwdriver at his place of employment on June 9. Wilkins was charged with simple battery, theft by taking and aggravated assault.

The 56-year-old was previously arrested and charged with criminal trespassing and hindering law enforcement after allegedly barricading himself in someone's room, pouring accelerant and disabling the smoke alarm on June 6.
