[AP] BREAKING: Charlotte Hornets forward turns himself in (self.nba)

submitted by Gran Destinohorseshoeoverlook

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges turned himself in on Friday after an arrest warrant was issued for an alleged protection order violation stemming from a domestic violence case last year.

Bridges turned himself in early in the morning in Lincoln County, a suburb of Charlotte. He was accompanied by his attorney, according to Larry Seagle, the public information officer for the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.

Bridges appeared before a district court judge and was released on $1,000 bond.

    What if they are both doing it? Like the movie the Prestige where Batman's character was revealed at the end to actually be a twin that was switching off with another dude in disguise and they were both doing each other's wives and then one was a bad man and got hanged and Wolverine was all "no way that's crafty af why did I keep killing all my clones instead of just keeping one and keeping him in line?" then he got shot

      and aside from some bad rap lyrics (don't ask I'm not an expert), you could pretty much consider him a good guy without controversy for his first 3.99 seasons in the NBA. Honestly the literal first thing he did wrong as a pro was get ejected from the play-in game vs ATL and chuck a mouthpiece at a fan on his way out and hit a different fan. All downhill from there. He hasn't played since that day.

        I don't like to harp too much because people aren't here for it but the league needs higher standards of conduct. idgaf about any excuses. The league IS shit for being alright with these shitbags.

        Second chances are not part of the deal in the highest league in the world. Second chances are for the rest, not the best.

        or at least third chances, ykwim

              3 games max? Ja got 25 for the egg in the face the league got from the first joke suspension. No chance in hell is the league going to go easy on Miles again.

              Miles isn’t the leagues future face like Ja could be, they’re not going to be lenient on Miles based on that fact alone.

              Anything less than expulsion and I’ll be disappointed.

              I have a tiny bit a faith they give him a season but I’m going to guess 30 games

              [–][LAL] D'Angelo Russellkpalian 22 points23 points  (8 children)

              they gave him 30 games last time. he definitely is teetering expulsion/season-long suspensions

              [–]BucksXxAuthenticxX 51 points52 points  (7 children)

              But that was for beating the shit out of his girlfriend in front of his kid.

              If that’s not an immediate expulsion, I have no faith throwing some pool balls would be enough.

              Hopefully since it’s a repeat offense that will make it enough for expulsion. It is embarrassing for the league

              [–]morcic 8 points9 points  (6 children)

              For as long as the mother of his kids doesn't press charges, he will get away with it. And why should she press charges? If he goes to jail, he's not getting his next contract, and she gets nothing.

              [–]Sky19234 15 points16 points  (4 children)

              I have no faith throwing some pool balls would be enough.

              To be clear I agree with you that they probably won't expel for this but he was throwing pool balls at a car with children in it. He was a literal stones throw away from braining a child.

                    Bro a no name rookie walked into the building and immediately started slinging his dick around like it's nothing and got 4 games for it.

                    Miles could drop kick his girlfriend, shoot rounds into her household, then get on her car and helicopter his dick before turning around, bending over, and spreading his buttcheeks so the entire neighborhood could see his asshole and he'd probably still be back on the team by the end of the season.

                    I'm generally a union guy, but isn't this a downside for society as a whole of having strong unions? Along with genuine defense of workers rights against unfair firings and punishments, some pretty ugly stuff get protected as well

                    [–]NBAchronoquairium 17 points18 points  (1 child)

                    Police unions are all you need to refer to.

                    [–]curva3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

                    Yeah, the police is something that shouldn't even have an union in the same way IMO. I mean, they shouldnt be allowed to go on strike

                    [–]FeelsGoodMan2 7 points8 points  (1 child)

                    No, this is the thinking that ends up with the US having dogshit social welfare because everyone gets up in arms about the 5% of abuses and not the actual people it's helping. There's always gonna be people unfairly taking advantage of the union but there are plenty of normal good people it helps. If unions didn't help society, then the billionaires and corporations wouldn't be so he'll bent on destroying them.

                    Yeah it sucks some bad behavior gets defended but unfortunately it's part of the deal. Now, I'd say maybe having smarter more flexible unions might be an alternative that might be best.

                    [–]Glass_Mango_229 4 points5 points  (0 children)

                    That guy was out of the league for a year. Bridges was out for a year. It’s fun to act all indignant but if you are being dishonest it kind of undercuts your moral message.

                        That’s less than he got the first time around. This is a second offense, punishment goes up. I’m expecting a season ban, I’d be shocked if it’s less than half a season.

                        [–]Glass_Mango_229 2 points3 points  (0 children)

                        I know this sub loves to circlejerk about the league’s leniency, but you have to be completely braindead to think he’ll only get 3 games. Recidivism in cases like these tends to lead to much, much harsher punishments.

                            He wasn’t on the roster all of last season. The punishment is going to be harsher this time for the repeat offense. I mean Ja got what he did, & he didn’t injure anybody… I don’t think we will see Bridges for a long time. I hope he is cut.

                            Right, they paid him $8 mil for a season in which he probably won’t play, again. I would hope the Hornets, even regardless of the morality of them signing him after the initial charges, would decide it’s not worth it to pay a dude who keeps taking himself out of the league due to his off court issues.

                            [–]Hawkshumancartograph 5 points6 points  (7 children)

                            He signed the QO, which was his right under the rookie contract. They could have denounced his rights altogether, cutting him, but short of that this is as little as they could do.

                            The QO that the Hornets offered him despite knowing he was a wife beater. That's all I'm saying.

                            [–]Hawkshumancartograph 2 points3 points  (2 children)

                            Agreed but I believe they offered that long ago before these incidents. Like I said, they could cut him altogether.

                            [–]Spursalbinojustice 1 point2 points  (1 child)

                            They could have rescinded that in the interim but decided not to. Like they had every opportunity to make it so he didn't get paid that $8 million but they wanted to let this all blow over.

                                It’s been pointed out to me that the problem with cutting him now is he just gets to keep all his salary, which both doesn’t give him any immediate financial consequences and costs the team money. I’d bet we see his name on the roster for months, but he doesn’t play until after the court case is settled. And if he’s found guilty they’ve got reasonable cause to terminate the contract without paying him a single penny

                                      Bridges is also set to be served a criminal summons for an Oct. 6 allegation of violating a protection order, misdemeanor child abuse and injury to personal property.

                                      That criminal summons had not yet been served as of Friday morning, per court documents.

                                      Yeah but I'm more than confident he can pick up a few more before it's all said and done.

                                        I honestly thought the January warrant was the violation of being near to the victim, which included the billiard ball, but Im wrong. Honestly its just too much rn and I hate to read about this. Hornets just cut the losses and let him go man

                                        So he has two restraining order violations. The first one in January we don’t know anything about it the second one last week, which is when he threw the Billards at her car.

                                        The last one is an all time stupid move, she came to his house and he steps outside and engages her, that immediately breaks the restraining order, and he’s immediately in the wrong for that and deserves it for being so Damn stupid

                                              I'm not proud of it one bit, but 13 years ago I got nabbed for shoplifting as an idiot kid. My bail from attempting to shoplift one bottle of liquor was $25,000. I sat in jail for the weekend, and the judge wound up being so horrified by that outcome that he dropped any charges at my arraignment, which was kind of him.

                                              Every time I see a famous person's bail, it really pops to me how fucked over a people with public defenders are. There's just no way the real law is that a crime of violence in 2023 warrants only 1/25th the bail that the pettiest possible shoplifting teenage loser did in 2010.

                                                If he's still on the roster by opening night I will have lost a good amount of respect for everyone involved with the Charlotte hornets front office

                                                If I had any respect left for Adam Silver, it would be gone if he's still in the league by opening night.

                                                I don't know if I was just dumb or not paying attention but when silver first took over I felt like he did a lot of things that came off like he really gave a damn outside of just making as much money as possible. But yeah I wouldn't say I have a lot of respect currently left for him.

                                                Silver’s whole thing is to give the teams more autonomy and power to deal with things like this themselves

                                                  Totally agree but when the teams are incompetent in the very end it hurts the product as a whole. You can only allow teams so much autonomy before it hurts the league indirectly. NBA cares more about perception/PR and this is not a good look.

                                                  For what it’s worth, the hornets have let the league officers run point on this situation.

                                                  I think this is totally fair. Maybe my memory is a bit off, but wasn't the Donald Sterling thing just after he became commissioner? When that happened, I remember thinking Silver seemed like a no-nonsense commissioner who would protect the league's image. But the league looks absolutely horrible in this situation.

                                                  The way his voice waivered when he said "FOR LIFE" made me joke to buddies that he's a scaredy cat. I was joking in the moment because scaredy cat is a fun term we didn't use enough back then (or now) but he's exuded the same shaky confidence since then.

                                                  …. They literally can’t do anything to him until after the court date. So he will be on a roster opening night.

                                                  The NBA players union is far too strong for any move like that and I wish fans here would at least acknowledge that fact. The hornets could easily cut him though.

                                                  Silver has to go through legal, the owners, and the NBAPA to take any action on this, and the bigger the action the more complicated it would be. No way the players association would just acquiesce to a lifetime ban, so I dont know why people are imagining that this would come instantly

                                                    He will be. Opening night is a week and a half away and regardless of his obvious guilt there’s too much with the legal process just now starting. Would you rather him get his full salary because he was cut without legal cause or wait for the the league to be able to void his contract?

                                                    Him being on the roster doesn’t matter as long as he isn’t getting paid, which he won’t be at least until the suspension is up, but by then we’ll have legal justification and clarity to at suspend him indefinitely.

                                                    Him being on the roster does matter, because this is being reported as "Hornets Player," not "former NBA player." If the organization had any dignity they'd cut him immediately and eat the 8 million he's supposed to get paid this year.

                                                        That seems like a very low bail amount.

                                                        It’s a legit possibility. Charlotte media is already hearing rumblings he’ll be fine.

                                                        We know he’s (previously) violated his probation 3 times since being signed. He’s already serving a 30 game suspension for an incident in ‘22 and that caused a lot of uproar from the fan base. I don’t think there’s anyway the new ownership lets this slide. He’s done being a hornet.

It’s truly something. I mean statistically you’d think we would be due a break at some point soon but no, it just seems to get comically worse at every major inflection point.

Time and time again we have been shown in sports that if you can do cool stuff with a ball, that's the only thing a lot of teams really care about. Bridges has already done disgusting stuff and was scheduled to be back on the court in a couple months. Sadly I don't think this is gonna be much different. If not Charlotte, it would be someone else.

                                                              The league needs to put some initiative on looking into the Hornets organization. For one, they are so far wasting the career (LaMelo) of one of the only talents they've been able to actually acquire since Kemba. Secondly, they are actively putting out a product so harmful it's disrespectful to the fanbase and the local community with all the taxpayer money they have put into the arena through numerous renovations and large scale additions (for essentially only the Hornets benefit!!)

                                                              Are they responsible for a shit culture? Maybe? Probably? None of us are in that locker room to know. But they have made good roster moves for the last 4-5 years

                                                              Your team has a bad rep, man. Reddit doesn't even need to meme it to see that your players essentially shoot themselves on the foot. And a logical reason behind it is that the culture is allowing them to do it.

                                                              What's the point of thinking roster moves when the players force it themselves in this way?

I’m not even arguing we don’t have a bad Rep we do it’s been a bad year. Our rep isn’t they need to take the hornets from Charlotte bad, or Jordan is the second worst owner in nba history bad, like people on social media (including Reddit) are saying.

                                                                Way to tell on yourself bub. Leonard was already headed out of the league due to injuries. He's even talked about exactly that. He was on IR when his shit happened.

                                                                  [–]HolyGhostSpirit33 3 points4 points  (1 child)

                                                                  [–]BullsMuletownSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

                                                                  Shouldn't have been allowed to bond out. He's clearly a danger to those around him. Put him in a cage and throw the fuckin' key away.
