LOS ANGELES (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges was arrested for felony domestic violence in Los Angeles Wednesday, according to multiple reports.
TMZ reported Bridges turned himself in to authorities Wednesday after an argument with a woman allegedly turned physical the day before.
The woman reportedly required medical attention, TMZ reported.
The Los Angeles Times said Bridges was released on a $130,000 bond. He was scheduled to appear in court on July 20.
The Charlotte Hornets released the following statement after Bridges’ arrest:
The Charlotte Hornets are aware of the situation involving Miles Bridges. We are in the process of gathering additional information. We have no further comment at this time.
Bridges, 24, was drafted 12th overall in the 2018 NBA draft by the L.A. Clippers before his draft rights were traded to Charlotte.

Bridges will be a restricted free agent this summer.
