Former NBA player Patrick Beverley is facing serious legal trouble after being arrested in Texas on November 14.
The 37-year-old was booked on a third-degree felony assault charge involving a family member, and the details coming out of the probable cause affidavit are deeply unsettling.
But let’s get into what actually happened.
What Led To Patrick Beverley’s Arrest
According to the affidavit, deputies were dispatched to the Rosharon, Texas home of Beverley’s mother, Lisa, in the early morning hours.
She had called Patrick to confront his teenage sister and her 18-year-old boyfriend, who were inside the residence.
When Patrick Beverley arrived, things took a disturbing turn.
His 15-year-old sister told deputies she had previously snuck out to meet her boyfriend.
The affidavit states that Beverley allegedly grabbed her by the neck with both hands and lifted her off the ground.
She reported feeling pain, struggling to breathe, and sensing she was losing oxygen.
The sister also alleged that Patrick placed her on a couch, stood over her, punched her in the left eye, and threatened that he would be the family member who would kill her.
Deputies documented visible neck marks and petechiae in her eyes, which are consistent with strangulation.
