Former NBA Star Patrick Beverley’s Legal Troubles
Former NBA guard Patrick Beverley was arrested this week in Texas, facing serious legal challenges with a third-degree felony charge of assault. According to records obtained by various outlets, including the New York Post, the incident took place in Fort Bend County, where Beverley was taken into custody and subsequently booked on a family-violence charge.
Key Details of the Incident
- Arrest Date: This week
- Location: Fort Bend County, Texas
- Charge: Third-degree felony assault involving a family/household member
- Bail: Posted a $40,000 bond
- Expected Release: Friday night following his arrest
Allegations and Legal Context
The assault charge is particularly concerning, as jail records indicate that the incident involved an attempt to impede breath or circulation of a family/household member. The nature of the charge carries significant repercussions in Texas, with potential penalties of 2 to 10 years in prison if convicted.
While the specifics of the incident remain unclear, Beverley took to social media shortly after the news broke, posting on X, “Please don’t believe everything you see on the internet. Hope all is well Luv.”
Background and Previous Incidents
Though Beverley has encountered various disciplinary actions during his career, including suspensions for interactions with fans and the media, he has no known record of violent felony arrests. Notably, he was previously arrested in 2015 for an unpaid toll violation after a traffic stop.
His attorney, Letitia Quinones-Hollins, stated that Beverley is eager to present his side of the story in court. She emphasized that he has no criminal record and highlighted the context surrounding the alleged incident:
“Patrick Beverley cares deeply about his little sister — a young lady, a minor. Given that, when he unexpectedly found her alone in the home with an 18-year-old man in the middle of the night, he was understandably concerned, as any brother would be.”
Career Overview
Beverley, who last played in the NBA in 2024, later signed with Hapoel Tel Aviv to compete in the Israeli Basketball Premier League and EuroCup. He parted ways with the organization in February 2025, not completing his season in Europe. Over his lengthy career, spanning from 2012 to 2024, Beverley made significant achievements, including being named to the All-Defensive Team three times.
Conclusion
As the situation unfolds, all eyes will be on the courtroom to see how Beverley will navigate these serious allegations. With significant legal implications on the line, both Beverley’s fans and the public await more information about the case and its potential ramifications for the former NBA star.
