Former WNBA star and Olympic gold medalist Chamique Holdsclaw is in custody in Atlanta after a Tuesday incident involving a car belonging to her former girlfriend, WNBA player Jennifer Lacy.
What Police Say
According to the Associated Press, Atlanta police say Holdsclaw followed Lacy, a guard for the Tulsa Shock, to her car, smashed the windows with a baseball bat and fired a gun into the vehicle. No one was hurt. Lacy identified Holdsclaw as her ex girlfriend, and the two played together on the Atlanta Dream in 2009.
A warrant was issued, and Holdsclaw turned herself in. The AP reported she was booked into the Fulton County Jail and charged with aggravated assault, second degree criminal damage and reckless conduct. Bond was first reported at $10,000.
Bond Update
On Friday, an Atlanta judge set bond at $100,000, according to the AP. Holdsclaw is due back in Fulton County court on November 30, and she must wear a monitoring device and have no contact with Lacy as conditions of her release. Her attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and no statement from Holdsclaw has been reported.
Lacy thanked her family, friends, fans and the Shock organization for the support she has received.
These are allegations, and Holdsclaw is presumed innocent unless proven otherwise. We will update this story as more is reported.
