LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles County District Attorney announced on July 19 that they filed felony domestic violence charges against Charlotte Hornets NBA forward Miles Bridges.

Mr. Bridges will be held accountable for his actions and our Bureau of Victim Services will support the survivors through this difficult process.”
