MIAMI (AP) — Dallas Wings star Arike Ogunbowale was arrested and
charged with misdemeanor battery after police say she punched a
man in the face at a Miami nightclub.
A four-time WNBA All-Star, Ogunbowale was celebrating early
Thursday at the club E11EVEN after winning the Unrivaled
championship with the Mist that night. According to Miami-Dade
County police records, Ogunbowale punched the man in the face,
knocking him to the ground, and security cameras captured the
act.
The county corrections department said Ogunbowale has been
released from custody.
“The league is aware of an incident involving Arike Ogunbowale
and we are in the process of gathering additional information,”
Unrivaled spokesperson Tish Carmona said. “We’re in contact with
Arike and her representatives.”
The Wings said they were aware of her arrest and “are in the
process of gathering more information. Further comments will be
provided once we have more details.”
The Associated Press left message seeking comment with Excel
Management, which represents Ogunbowale.
Ogunbowale scored 19 points in the title game Wednesday night
against the Phantom.
