According to a report from A.J. Perez of USA Today, Cousins is being charged with a Class A misdemeanor case of domestic violence. His ex-girlfriend and the mother of his child filed a police report on Friday. She alleges that Cousins threatened to “put a bullet in her (expletive) head.”

 

Los Angeles Lakers big man DeMarcus Cousins is facing charges after a warrant was filed for his arrest.

Cousins’ ex-girlfriend and the mother his 7-year-old son filed a police report Friday, about two hours after she alleged Cousins threatened to “put a bullet in your (expletive) head.” The phone conversation was recorded by Cousins’ ex-girlfriend and a copy was provided to the Mobile (Ala.) police department. Footage was released by TMZ on Tuesday.

Mobile police spokesperson Charlette M. Solis told USA TODAY Sports on Thursday that “an arrest warrant has been issued.” The third-degree harassing communications charge was listed on the Mobile municipal court Web site, although no other information was provided.

“Yes, a warrant has been signed,” Cousins’ ex-girlfriend told USA TODAY Sports in a text message Thursday.

At this point, it’s not clear what sort of action the NBA will take in this matter. The league takes the issue of domestic violence very seriously, and he could be facing up to a year of jail time if convicted. NBA spokesman Mike Bass said in a statement Tuesday that the league is “investigating the allegations.”

Cousins signed a one-year contract with the Lakers on July 6. However, he suffered an ACL tear during an offseason workout and is expected to miss much of the 2019-20 campaign.

can't really blame him.  He's been screwed over by gold diggers.  

Yeah I can blame hi for being violent towards women no matter how they have treated him.    Thats an awful take.
