BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan. 25 (UPI) -- The teenage son of New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas, a student at Indiana University, has been charged with underage drinking, a report said.
Joshua Thomas, 19, was arrested at a Bloomington hospital, police said. Thomas allegedly was punched in the face during a fight at a bar where he had been drinking using fake identification, The New York Daily News reported Friday.
Officers said Thomas became unruly when he was asked how his eye was injured. He was charged with disorderly conduct and alcohol-related misdemeanors.
Thomas allegedly threw up and passed out in a police car after he was removed from the hospital early Tuesday morning.
Isiah Thomas was a basketball star at Indiana University a quarter century ago, helping the Hoosiers take the NCAA championship in 1981.
The younger Thomas, a freshman at the university, performs as a disc jockey under the name "DJ Zeke." He has appeared at clubs in Manhattan, the newspaper said.
