Former NBA professional Kyle Singler has been taken into custody following a disturbing domestic incident that came to light through shocking video evidence obtained by law enforcement.
The 36-year-old ex-basketball star, who played for both the Detroit Pistons and Oklahoma City Thunder during his career, was arrested on charges of assault and harassment after police uncovered videos showing alleged violence against his girlfriend.
Police Investigation Uncovers Disturbing Evidence
According to official reports, the investigation began when authorities received information about potential domestic violence. During their probe, officers obtained multiple videos that allegedly show Singler engaging in physical altercations with his partner.
One particularly concerning clip reportedly depicts the 6-foot-8 former athlete pushing his girlfriend to the ground in what appears to be a garage setting. The footage proved compelling enough for detectives to secure an arrest warrant.
Rapid Police Response Leads to Arrest
Law enforcement moved quickly once they had reviewed the evidence. Singler was located and taken into custody without incident at a residence in Lake Oswego, Oregon.
Court documents reveal that the alleged victim had visible injuries consistent with the assaults shown in the videos. The case has been forwarded to the district attorney's office for formal charging.
From NBA Courts to Courtroom
Singler's fall from grace marks a dramatic turn for the former basketball star who was once a highly-touted prospect. After a standout college career at Duke University, where he won an NCAA championship in 2010, he entered the NBA with considerable promise.
His professional journey included stints with both American and European teams before his retirement from professional basketball. The current legal proceedings represent a stark contrast to his previous public profile as a respected athlete.
The case continues to develop as prosecutors review the evidence and consider the appropriate charges. Domestic violence advocates have emphasized the importance of the video evidence in building what appears to be a strong case against the former athlete.
