Criminal summons allege Miles Bridges smashed his ex's car windshield, violated domestic protective order
A criminal summons issued this week against Hornets forward Miles Bridges includes an allegation that he smashed his ex’s car windshield and violated a domestic protective order. Mecklenburg County court records show the alleged incident happened in Charlotte when Bridges and the woman met for a child custody exchange. In May, the records show, a protective order had been issued by a judge in California. The new summons charges the 25-year-old Bridges with misdemeanor child abuse, injury to personal property and a domestic protective order violation.

What else is there to say a/b this Miles Bridges situation. I’ve been on record saying although I’m obviously disgusted by his actions, I understand why Charlotte was willing to give him a chance on a 1-yr. QO from a basketball perspective. But they have to cut ties now. Period. – 11:13 AM

Steve Clifford on Miles Bridges
“He’s a big, big part of our team. We have to find a way to get off to a good start without him… He’s making it easier just by the nature of how he is. He’s a great worker, a great teammate, he picks things up quickly. He’s all about the group” pic.twitter.com/TS8WwCi7n7 – 6:06 PM

Very little mention of the Charlotte Hornets in this years GM survey. Miles Bridges received one mention for most underrated player acquisition. Seemed like 50% of the answers were “Jokic” so maybe we need some new questions.

More on this storyline
The court document providing details on the summons lists the offense date as “on or about” Oct. 10, 2023. On Tuesday, however, Bridges was in Miami with the team. Part of the summons says the woman accuses Bridges of throwing pool table balls at her vehicle while the children were in the car. She says he threatened her, saying that if she called police he would withhold child support money, according to the court summons. Bridges also allowed his current girlfriend to “yell, scream and kick the victim’s car” while children were inside, the summons alleges. Bridges has been summoned to appear in criminal court in Charlotte on Nov. 13. -via Charlotte Observer / October 12, 2023
An arrest warrant has been issued for Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges, and it’s related to a prior domestic violence incident. However, the situation didn’t involve any new allegations of physical violence — it’s related to the violation of a protective order, according to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office and the county clerk of court. -via WSOCTV.com / October 11, 2023
The corresponding police report indicated that the victim’s windshield was smashed in and that her protective order was violated by Bridges’ appearance. The incident happened at her residence. -via WSOCTV.com / October 11, 2023
