LOS ANGELES — Charlotte Hornets restricted free agent Miles Bridges pleaded not guilty to three felony domestic violence charges during his arraignment Wednesday morning in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Bridges has been accused of assaulting his girlfriend in front of their two children last month, and the three felony charges were filed Tuesday by Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon.
Bridges' case was continued to Aug. 19, when a date for a preliminary hearing is slated to be scheduled. In a news release Tuesday, Gascon said his office filed one felony count of injuring a child's parent and two felony counts of child abuse under circumstances or conditions likely to cause great bodily injury or death.
According to the DA's release, the case «includes an allegation of causing great bodily injury on the domestic violence victim.» The release noted that the children were present for the alleged assault but did not otherwise specify what the child abuse counts stemmed from.
