Rice Was Steamed

Glen Rice, formerly of the New York Knicks and Michigan Wolverines, was charged with felony battery after Miami-Dade police said he beat a man he found hiding in his estranged wife's bedroom closet.

Rice turned himself in to authorities soon after the incident and quickly posted bail.

Rice went to Christina Rice's home near Coral Gables Friday afternoon, demanding to know the identity of the man she was with and asking why the man was in her house, according to a police report. Glen Rice then quickly found Alberto Perez, 37, hiding in the closet, police said.

Perez called 911 about 1:30 p.m. after Glen Rice hit him several times on the head and Perez was able to run out of the house, police said. Perez's facial injuries, mainly a laceration on his forehead, required nine stitches, according to the report.
