Arrest warrant issued for Hornets forward Miles Bridges, related to domestic violence incident

An arrest warrant has been issued for Miles Bridges as it related to domestic violence incident.

WSOC-TV, citing Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office, reports the warrant for the Charlotte Hornets forward related to a violation of a protective order. The warrant was issued in January but has not yet been served.

The criminal summons was issued on Wednesday.

According to WSOC-TV, the police report indicated the mother of Bridges’ two children had her windshield smashed at her residence and that her protective order was violated by his appearance. The alleged incident happened at her residence, the station reported.

The Hornets said in a statement Wednesday night they are aware of the reports and are in the process of gathering more information.

The 25-year-old Bridges is serving three years of probation after pleading no contest last November to one felony count of injuring a child’s parent, agreeing to do so in exchange for no jail time.

Bridges had been facing three felony charges — the one that he pleaded no contest to, and two others of child abuse under circumstances or conditions likely to cause great bodily injury or death. The charges stemmed from accusations that he assaulted his former girlfriend in front of their two children in June 2022, the Los Angeles County district attorney said.

The NBA suspended Bridges for 30 games this season, but determined that 20 games would be dropped due to time already missed because he missed 82 games last year. Bridges will miss the first 10 games of the regular season.
