Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges is facing three felony domestic violence charges after being accused of assaulting his girlfriend in front of their two children last month, the Los Angeles County district attorney said Tuesday.
District Attorney George Gascón said his office filed 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. Bridges is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday.
“Children who witness family violence are especially vulnerable and the impact on them is immeasurable," Gascón said.
Bridges was arrested on June 29 by Los Angeles police and was later released on $130,000 bond.
