JUST IN: Former NBA player Bryn Forbes arrested for assault

Former NBA player Bryn Forbes has been arrested on family felony violence charge one year after misdemeanor assault. 

The 30-year-old, who last played for the Minnesota Timberwolves, was arrested Tuesday on a third-felony family violence charge after allegedly assaulting a family member by choking and strangulation.

Forbes was taken to Bexar County Jail.

He remains jailed as of Tuesday afternoon on a $7,500 bond, per a jail official.

It was not immediately clear if Forbes had hired an attorney.

San Antonio police said in the preliminary report that officers responded to a call at 2:17 a.m. on Monday.

Forbes allegedly assaulted a 30-year-old woman described as “an ex-significant other.”

The report said the woman was able to get away and notify police.

Forbes then fled the scene before police arrived.

He was then arrested on Tuesday morning.

Last February, Forbes was taken into police custody on suspicion of assault with bodily injury, which is considered a misdemeanor.

Forbes was believed to be in a relationship with the woman whom police said he struck when a verbal argument turned physical.
