SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Sacramento County Sheriff's deputies say Los Angeles Lakers player Matt Kelly Barnes was arrested on domestic violence charges.
Officials said deputies responded to an incomplete 911 call from a residence located in the 8100 block of Sunset Avenue at 4:16 p.m. Wednesday where they met with 30-year-old Matt Kelly Barnes and a woman who he lived with and had a dating relationship.
Deputies said they determined the two were involved in a physical confrontation during which Barnes prevented the woman from talking to 911 operators. Furthermore, while both parties had visible injuries, Barnes was determined to be the primary aggressor and taken into custody, officials said.
Barnes was booked into the Sacramento County Jail on the felony charges of domestic violence and maliciously obstructing the use of a telephone line. He posted a $50,000 bond and was released.
He is scheduled to be arraigned on Sept. 13.
On Barnes' Twitter page Wednesday night he said, "Don't let your ears witness, what your eyes didn't see!!!"
According to Barnes' profile on NBA.com, he and his fiancée, Gloria, have twin boys, Isaiah Michael and Carter Kelly, born in November 2008. Barnes attended Del Campo High School in Sacramento.
