Bridges was charged with felony domestic violence when he turned himself in to Los Angeles police on Wednesday, according to TMZ. The 24-year-old was reportedly released on $130,000 bail shortly after his arrest.
Because of his alleged actions, many NBA fans would love to not only see him in prison, but kicked out of the league.
Bridges, who attended Michigan State University, appeared in 80 games last season and led the Hornets with 20.2 points per game.
Charlotte offered Bridges a qualifying offer on Wednesday, making him a restricted free agent.
