Dallas Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale has been arrested and charged with misdemeanour battery after an incident at a Miami nightclub, according to police records.
The four-time WNBA All-Star was celebrating her Unrivaled championship win with the Mist on Thursday when she allegedly punched a man in the face, knocking him to the ground. Security cameras captured the incident at the E11EVEN club, Miami-Dade County police said.
Ogunbowale has since been released from custody, according to the county corrections department.
Unrivaled spokesperson Tish Carmona said: “The league is aware of an incident involving Arike Ogunbowale and we are in the process of gathering additional information. We’re in contact with Arike and her representatives.”
The Dallas Wings also confirmed they were aware of the arrest and said they were gathering more information before making further comments. The Associated Press has sought comment from Ogunbowale’s representatives at Excel Management.
Ogunbowale scored 19 points in Wednesday’s title game against the Phantom.
