Former NBA player Patrick Beverley is facing serious allegations after being arrested on Friday. According to police documents, Beverley is accused of attacking his 15-year-old sister.
The incident reportedly happened after the sister came home from visiting her boyfriend. The police report states that Beverley got angry because she left the house without permission.
His sister claims that Beverley grabbed her by the neck and lifted her off the ground. She says he choked her for about 20 to 30 seconds, making it hard for her to breathe and causing her pain.
She also told police that Beverley slammed her against the walls and punched her in the eye. The police documents even say that Beverley threatened to kill her.
Beverley was arrested and later released on bail. After his arrest, Beverley posted online asking people not to believe everything they read.
His lawyer said that Beverley was concerned when he found his sister alone with an 18-year-old man. The lawyer also stated they don’t believe the events happened as described and look forward to addressing the issue in court.
