Five years after she threw a punch in Lubbock that was seen millions of times on the Internet, Brittney Griner got in another fight Wednesday and ended up in jail.

Griner, former Baylor center and current star of the defending champion WNBA Phoenix Mercury, was arrested along with her fiancee, Glory Johnson, on suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct.

Officers arrested Griner and Johnson, who plays for the Tulsa Shock, after a fight between the couple turned physical at their home in suburban Phoenix, Goodyear police spokeswoman Lisa Kutis said. No weapons were involved, and neither woman required hospital care for their minor injuries, Kutis said.
