Bridges, 25, surrendered to the Lincoln County
Sheriff's Office and later appeared before a district judge
prior to being released on $1,000 bail, a public information
officer told The Associated Press.
Bridges pleaded no contest to a felony domestic violence charge
last November in Los Angeles and was sentenced to three years of
probation with no jail time. He was accused of assaulting the
mother of his two children in May 2022.
His sentencing agreement included a 10-year criminal protection
order for the woman as well as weekly narcotics and marijuana
testing, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney's
office.
After his court case was concluded, the NBA suspended Bridges
for 30 games. He has 20 games credited, so he will only miss the
first 10 games of the 2023-24 season.
Bridges was the Hornets' leading scorer with 20.2 points per
game during the 2021-22 season. He last played on April 10,
2022.
