Former NBA player Benoit Benjamin was arrested and charged with simple battery and resisting arrest following a domestic disturbance at his house Sunday afternoon. When police arrived at the scene they found a woman with visible swelling on her forehead, and a pissed off Benjamin.
According to the arrest report, when the officer tried to make contact, Benjamin attempted to walk into the front door of the house.
Police say that when Benjamin was ordered to stop, he used obscenity and said, “This is my house.”Told that he was under arrest, Benjamin allegedly said, “No I’m not.”
Despite Benoit thinking he wasn’t under arrest the police took the former Supersonic, Laker, Net, Grizzly, Buck, Raptor, 76er, and Cavalier to the Ouachita Correctional Center where he was released on $4,000 bond.. Just in time to be honored on Tuesday by the city of Monroe, Louisiana.
