According to the Los Angeles Police Department, Miles Bridges, a restricted free agent with the Charlotte Hornets, has been charged with felony domestic violence following an incident earlier this week.

Following an incident in West Los Angeles two days prior, the LAPD announced on Twitter that Bridges had been detained on Wednesday for “intimate partner violence with injury,” a felony, and had been booked on a felony domestic violence warrant.

His court hearing is on July 20 and he was freed on a $130,000 bail. According to the LAPD, it does not publish police reports on arrests for domestic violence. Rich Paul, Bridges’ agent, has not responded to calls to The Associated Press, and it was not known if he has legal representation. Johnson could not be reached, and AP was unable to track down her designated lawyer.

In her post, she wrote, “I hate that it has come to this but I can’t be silent anymore. I’ve allowed someone to destroy my home, abuse me in every way possible and traumatize our kids for life.”

She added, “I have nothing to prove to the world, but I won’t allow anyone who could do something so horrible to have no remorse and paint a picture of something I’m not. I won’t allow the people around him to continue to silence me and continue to lie to protect this person.”
