LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CA. (THECOUNT) — Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced charges have been filed against NBA player Miles Bridges. The announcement comes two weeks after his wife Mychelle Johnson shared disturbing images following Bridges’ arrest.
On Tuesday, Gascón announced via press release that Bridges, who last played for the Charlotte Hornets, will be charged with one felony count of injuring a child’s parent and two felony counts of child abuse under circumstances or conditions likely to cause great bodily injury or death, FOX11 is reporting.
“Domestic violence creates physical, mental and emotional trauma that has a lasting impact on survivors,” Gascón said in a press release. “Children who witness family violence are especially vulnerable and the impact on them is immeasurable. Mr. Bridges will be held accountable for his actions and our Bureau of Victim Services will support the survivors through this difficult process.”
Bridges, 24, was reportedly involved in a fight with Johnson prior to the arrest. Los Angeles County jail records say Bridges was arrested for felony domestic violence on June 29. Bridges’ bail was set at about $130,000 and was released shortly after his arrests, according to jail records.
