Miles Bridges has he definitively finished with justice? A priori no, if we are to believe the information collected by ESPN with the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office, North Carolina. The player received a summons to appear in court for violating “a protection order against domestic violence, child abuse and damage to personal property”.
Having been convicted (via a non-contest agreement) for acts of domestic violence against his ex-partner committed in front of their children, the Hornets player received heavy sanctions to avoid going to prison: three years of probation , required to complete 52 weeks of domestic violence counseling and 52 weeks of parenting classes, as well as complete 100 hours of community service and undergo weekly drug testing, while not being allowed to possess firearms, ammunition or other weapons.
Billiard balls thrown at the windshield
With that, he was also prohibited from coming within 100 meters of his former partner, and from having any contact with her. And it is on this point that the winger would be called to order.
Miles Bridges thus violated this line of conduct imposed by the courts twice. A first time on January 2, which will earn him an arrest warrant, then a second time this Tuesday, triggering his summons to appear, once again for not having respected this obligation to keep his distance.
According to WSOCTV, a Charlotte TV channel, Bridges allegedly threw billiard balls at his ex-partner’s car, to the point of breaking the windshield. As his children were in the car, he is also accused of abuse and this media specifies that he also made threats!
If the NBA has not yet reacted, a spokesperson for the Hornets was satisfied with the following statement: “We are aware and we are in the process of gathering more information.”
After his last season spent away from the Great League, the Charlotte winger still had to serve ten games of suspension when the regular season resumed. Let’s see if this latest twist in this affair will force him to stay away from the field for a little longer.
