Celtics shooting guard Jabari Bird’s forthcoming arraignment has been delayed due to his extended hospitalization, according to a spokesman for the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office.
Bird — who was arrested Friday night in Brighton for a domestic incident in which he allegedly assaulted, choked, and kidnapped a person with whom he had a romantic relationship — was initially expected to be arraigned in Brighton Municipal Court on Monday, spokesman Jake Wark said in an email. He will not be arraigned, however, until he is discharged from the hospital, taken back into police custody, booked, processed, and transported to court.
