"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Suns forward Michael Beasley is being investigated by police. (Christian Petersen/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suns forward Michael Beasley is the subject of an investigation regarding an alleged sexual assault, according to police in Scottsdale, Ariz.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ABC15.com reports that the alleged assault took place on Jan. 13.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CAt this point we can only say the investigation is ongoing,\u201D said David Pubins, Scottsdale police spokesman. \u201CWe are interviewing those involved and processing any physical evidence we may have to try and determine if criminal charges are appropriate.\u201D&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;KTAR\u00A0also reported the investigation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is the second time during Beasley's tenure in Phoenix that he has found himself in hot water. Word broke in February\u00A0that Beasley was cited on Jan. 25 for multiple driving violations for driving 71 mph in a 45-mph zone at 1:10 a.m. in a Mercedes that did not have a license plate. Beasley was driving on a suspended license and a loaded gun was found in the vehicle. Suns management did not discipline Beasley after the incident.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It has been a long and rocky road since Beasley was the No. 2 pick in the 2008 draft after earning Big 12 Player of the Year honors during his one season at Kansas State. Before playing his first game for the Heat, Beasley\u00A0was\u00A0fined $50,000 for his role in a marijuana-related incident\u00A0at the Rookie Transition Program. He\u00A0spent time\u00A0in a substance abuse treatment center in 2009 before the Heat traded him to the Timberwolves after just two seasons.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Upon acquiring Beasley, then Timberwolves president David Kahn\u00A0called him\u00A0\"a very young and immature kid who smoked too much marijuana\" before he arrived in Minnesota.\u00A0Beasley was later\u00A0pulled over for speeding and cited for marijuana possession\u00A0by Minnesota police during the 2011 lockout. He also\u00A0shoved a fan in the face\u00A0during a lockout exhibition game in New York and\u00A0launched a lawsuit\u00A0against his former AAU coach, alleging that he had received improper benefits during his one season at Kansas State.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Police confirmed the investigation within hours of the Suns' announcing the hiring of Celtics assistant general manager Ryan McDonough as their new GM.\nBeasley, 24, signed a three-year, $18 million contract with the Suns last summer, although the final season is only partially guaranteed. He averaged 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists while shooting 40.5 percent for the Suns, who finished 25-57, the worst record in the Western Conference.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
