Arrest warrant issued again for Hornets forward Miles BridgesBy Jessica Allen, wsoctv.com and Glenn Counts, wsoctv.comOctober 11, 2023 at 6:11 pm EDTArrest warrant issued again for Hornets forward Miles BridgesCHARLOTTE — An arrest warrant has been issued for Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges, and it’s related to a prior domestic violence incident. However, the situation didn’t involve any new allegations of physical violence -- it’s related to the violation of a protective order, according to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office and the county clerk of court.The warrant goes back to January. But because deputies have been unable to serve it, Channel 9 has not been able to get a look at it.It comes while the 25-year-old is still on probation for a felony charge of injuring a child’s parent last year.A criminal summons has also been issued for Bridges, which came out Wednesday. Once again, because it has not been served, it’s not public record, so we have not been able to get a copy of it.The corresponding police report indicated that the victim’s windshield was smashed in and that her protective order was violated by Bridges’ appearance. The incident happened at her residence.The victim in question is Bridges’ longtime girlfriend. The pair has several children and is in the middle of a custody battle.In the past, Bridges’ girlfriend has reportedly defended him and has said that he’s not an abuser.Bridges pleaded no contest in November 2022 to the charge, which stemmed from accusations that he assaulted the mother of his children in front of them. He was sentenced to three years of probation, and he also must adhere to a 10-year criminal protective order for the victim, weekly narcotics and marijuana testing, and restitution for the victim, the district attorney’s office said.

Guerschon Yabuselle added 18pts, 9rebs, 3stls and Facundo Campazzo with 20pts, 8ast, 6rebs.Dallas looks set for a BAD season. I actually like their top two but their supporting cast is all wrong. Too many young ones. Too many non-defender veteran role players (T Hardaway, Kleber). They are in trouble. Another missed playoffs looks likely.They shot themselves in the foot when they traded for Kyrie, then they doubled down on it. Beginning of the end for Luka's time in Dallas. Still, can't dump on them for losing a game where Luka played 5 minutes total and Kyrie didn't even play.I don’t care if Luka and Kyrie didn’t play, they just lost to Euroleague team that features Gerschon Yabuselle and Vincent Poirier. They have zero NBA caliber players. That’s just embarrassing.I didn't see the game but it seems like a pretty bad indication if DAL supporting cast after Luka and Kyrie is no better than a EuroLeague team.you take the 2 best players off of most teams and I'm not sure they are better than a Euroleague team. I mean how good is Denver without Jokic and Murray or the Lakers without Lebron and Davis or the Bucks without Giannis and Lillard. Heck even the deeper teams like Boston aren't going to be very good without Tatum and Brown or the Warriors without Curry and Klay. It isn't just losing the 2 best players either it is losing basically your team identity, the offensive engines that make the whole thing work, etc. We are talking about a team full of NBA players. I expect KCP, MPJ, A-Gordon, Christian Braun and Reggie Jackson to beat a Euroleague team. Same goes for Middleton, Portis, B-Lopez, Beasley, and Payne.I think that might just mean you don't watch a lot of Euroleague?Are Euroleague teams regularly beating NBA teams? Just looked through some of the scores from last years preseason and the Non-NBA teams were getting blown out every game.The gap gets smaller every year, and that Dallas roster doesn't exactly inspire confidence, as you say.That said, it's pre-season - I think we all know better than to read too much into the tea leaves.

But because deputies have been unable to serve it, Channel 9 has not been able to get a look at it.It comes while the 25-year-old is still on probation for a felony charge of injuring a child’s parent last year.A criminal summons has also been issued for Bridges, which came out Wednesday. Once again, because it has not been served, it’s not public record, so we have not been able to get a copy of it.The corresponding police report indicated that the victim’s windshield was smashed in and that her protective order was violated by Bridges’ appearance. The incident happened at her residence.The victim in question is Bridges’ longtime girlfriend. The pair has several children and is in the middle of a custody battle.In the past, Bridges’ girlfriend has reportedly defended him and has said that he’s not an abuser.Bridges pleaded no contest in November 2022 to the charge, which stemmed from accusations that he assaulted the mother of his children in front of them. He was sentenced to three years of probation, and he also must adhere to a 10-year criminal protective order for the victim, weekly narcotics and marijuana testing, and restitution for the victim, the district attorney’s office said.

Or, does this one just go away with a slap on the wrist, too?
