Law enforcement sources tell us that the 54-year-old was arrested on December 4 and charged with one count of interfering with judicial proceedings.

According to court documents we obtained ... "J.R.'s" wife, Vanessa, filed for a protective order back in July 2025. In the application, she alleged Rider was aggressive on multiple occasions, including a time when she claims Isaiah said, "You're gonna get your arse slapped."

"Shut the f*** up before I kick this door down and whoop you."

Vanessa claimed the comments were directed at both her and her 15-year-old son.

At the time, Isaiah responded to the allegations, writing ... "I deny the allegations. She did this because I filed for divorce."

According to court records, the nine-year NBA veteran filed for divorce from Vanessa in November 2024.
