New Orleans Pelicans center Jaxson Hayes was sentenced Tuesday to three years of probation, 450 hours of community service and a year of weekly domestic violence classes for a confrontation that police officers responded to last summer in Los Angeles.
The sentencing comes after Hayes pleaded no contest on Feb. 24 to misdemeanor counts of false imprisonment and resisting an officer.
He was arrested on July 28. Police body camera video showed Hayes scuffling with officers and being hit twice with an electronic stun gun after they ordered him out of the home.
Hayes told officers the woman was his girlfriend and that she had been “throwing some stuff” at him while they argued.
Hayes played in 70 games for the Pelicans last season, averaging 9.3 points and 4.5 rebounds.
