Miles Bridges Facing 3 Domestic Violence Charges

Not the 3 Miles Bridges was looking for.

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges is facing three felony domestic violence charges after he was accused of assaulting his wife in front of their two children last month.  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 29th by Los Angeles police and was later released on $130,000 bond.

Bridges’ agent could not immediately be reached for comment Tuesday night.

Mychelle Johnson addressed the incident on Instagram on July 1, posting several pictures of injuries and a medical report that read: “adult victim of physical abuse by male partner; Assault by strangulation, Brain concussion; Closed fracture of nasal bone; Contusion of rib; Multiple bruises; Strain of neck muscle.”

“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,” Johnson wrote on Instagram. “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.”

Bridges is a restricted free agent who was expected to get paid in the free agent market this summer following a breakout season.
