Patrick Beverley was arrested on Friday in Texas and charged with assault of a family violence/household member, writes Jenna West of The Athletic.
West writes that according to the Fort Bend County sheriff’s office, a “family violence incident” between relatives led to deputies being sent to the home, and that Beverley was booked and had a bond set at $40k, which he posted.
“Please don’t believe everything you see on the internet. Hope all is well,” Beverley tweeted on Friday night.
“Patrick Beverley has no criminal record. He cares deeply about his little sister — a young lady, a minor,” Beverley’s lawyer said in a statement sent to TMZ. “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 about his sister. However, we don’t believe what followed happened the way it’s been described, and we look forward to the opportunity to address that in court.”
West adds that the investigation remains ongoing and that the police have not released additional details.
