SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Sacramento Kings forward Ron Artest was arrested Monday after a woman called 911 from his home saying she had been assaulted.
Placer County sheriff's deputies responded about 9:30 a.m. to Artest's estate in the Sacramento suburb of Loomis, where they found a woman who had suffered injuries, officials said. She declined medical attention.
Deputies arrested Artest on suspicion of domestic violence and using force or violence to prevent the woman from reporting a crime, sheriff's spokeswoman Dena Erwin said.
"He and the female were in the house and separated," Erwin said. "The deputies interviewed them and took Mr. Artest into custody."
Artest was booked into the Placer County Jail and released later on US$50,000 bail.
Erwin said she could not disclose the woman's injuries or characterize her relationship with the player. She said Artest was co-operative when deputies arrived at his home.
