Matt Barnes arrested, suspected of domestic violence incident

[R4R]

Los Angeles Lakers forward Matt Barnes was arrested Wednesday in California on suspicion of felony domestic violence. Barnes later claimed he was the victim.
"U know any domestic violence situation 9 outa 10 times the man gets arrested. That's the case here I was the victim but still got arrested. No matter what I say people are gonna think what they want..." Barnes said Wednesday night in a text message to Brian May of Sacramento television station KXTV.
Barnes also warned via Twitter not to judge the case from afar. "DON'T LET YOUR EARS WITNESS, WHAT YOUR EYES DIDN'T SEE!!!" Barnes tweeted.
The alleged incident occurred about 4:15 p.m. PT Wednesday. Sheriff's deputies from Sacramento County responded to a 911 call made from Barnes' residence in Fair Oaks, Calif. Sherriff's office spokesman Sgt. Tim Curran said a woman "who lived with (Barnes) and with whom he had a dating relationship" made the call. Barnes allegedly tried to prevent the woman from calling police. Curran said dispatchers heard the sound of a struggle during the call.
Deputies say both Barnes and the woman had visible injuries, but they took Barnes into custody after determining he had been the primary aggressor. Barnes was booked into Sacramento County Jail on the domestic violence charge and on suspicion of maliciously obstructing the use of a telephone line.
A court appearance has been scheduled for Monday. The name of the woman was not released, but KXTV reports the alleged victim is Barnes' girlfriend.
Barnes, 30, signed a two-year, $3.6 million contract with the Lakers in July. He grew up in Sacramento and played part of the 2004-05 season for the hometown Kings.
Per The Sacramento Bee, Barnes' profile on the NBA's website says Barnes and his fiancee have twin boys aged 22 months. Barnes and his family could not be reached for comment Wednesday, the Bee reported.

[rayray2k8]

Nice pick-up Lakers. :tu

[Chieflion]

Barnes faked the throw of the ball. The woman didn't flinch.

Assigning Picasso's biography as summer reading may have been a bad choice, PJ.

[Giuseppe]

Don't worry, Artest will set him straight.

Paul Pierce a shining example.

tee, hee.

[sefant77]

what a hero

well, his fiancee is probably trash too

[ezau]

Great job Lakers, tee hee

Are those scratch marks on his neck?

[admiralsnackbar]

Looks like a tat, Acme, but I could be wrong.

[dickface]

Paul Pierce a shining example.

tee, hee.

yeah, that would really matter to a Hornets fan.

Is he about to cry?

[dickface]

Is he about to cry?

Probably. Fake wannabe thugs tend to cry when real thug shit happens to them.

[Gutter92]

Must be taking advice from Kobe on how to treat women...

[Ashy Larry]

damn matt, what's with the dumb and dumber haircut ????

[TheManFromAcme]

damn matt, what's with the dumb and dumber haircut ????

:lol No joke

Why of all hairstyles, does he choose this?

[Ashy Larry]

that's just some bad lettuce on his head ....... dude knows he has anger issues. When a bitch act crazy, hop in ya ride and just leave. Then again, she can pull that "Thin Line Between Love and Hate" move, start slamming her arm in the doors and shit and say he did it.

Just stay single.

[HeatBurn305]

:lol No joke

Why of all hairstyles, does he choose this?

I'll tell you why, ManFrom.

When Gray shoveled it off to LeBron in the Decision, the naysayers were silenced, the rest of the NBA buried. This forum became ours, and ours it will stay.

You motherfucker, you...

tee, hee

[HeatBurn305]

Probably. Fake wannabe thugs tend to cry when real thug shit happens to them.

The Mavs rang at the door four summers ago, but Payton buried them 6 foot deep and we went on to get #1.

Get used to it, Daddy-O.

[hater]

damn matt, what's with the dumb and dumber haircut ????

he joined the Lakers

[Venti Quattro]

lol great pick-up :cry

[DPG21920]

Nothing to see here. Matt just living the life in LA.

[Giuseppe]

yeah, that would really matter to a Hornets fan.

Probably not, but, to Celtics fans: it was lethal.

tee, hee.

[Giuseppe]

Nothing to see here. Matt just living the life in LA.

Hey, you hired a rapist, we hired a woman beater.

In for penny, in for pound.

[Venti Quattro]

Nothing to see here. Matt just living the life in LA.

it was in sacramento, not in LA. lol read before you plagiarize :cry

[rjv]

now we know why kobe was such a fan of barnes.

[Giuseppe]

Duncan is pretty fond of your Neal as well, rj.

tee, hee.

[Booharv]

So he's claiming he got beat up by a girl? That's his defense?

[Venti Quattro]

So he's claiming he got beat up by a girl? That's his defense?

matt barnes doesn't look like someone who's going to beat by a girl. so it's all bullshit. i just hope it goes well for him because we need him focused for training camp. he's not like kobe who can drop 35 or 40 straight from the courtroom.

[DPG21920]

it was in sacramento, not in LA. lol read before you plagiarize :cry

Lol calling mocking your post plagiarizing. Plagiarizing is for things that matter, not making fun of Laker "fans" for pimping their team one minute only to have someone else mess up the next.

[DPG21920]

Hey, you hired a rapist, we hired a woman beater.

In for penny, in for pound.

Yes, but you already had questionable characters. Neal evened the score and now Barnes has put you firmly back in the lead.

[Giuseppe]

True, but, we each have a rapist now.

ha, ha.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

damn matt, what's with the dumb and dumber haircut ????

Ha ha. Maybe he was shooting for a Benny Blanco from the Bronx look?

[Venti Quattro]

Lol calling mocking your post plagiarizing. Plagiarizing is for things that matter, not making fun of Laker "fans" for pimping their team one minute only to have someone else mess up the next.

I feel insulted, degraded and most especially mocked. :(

[HarlemHeat37]

What a surprise, another POS playing for the Lakers..add another one to the long list of women abusers..it's like they intentionally target these players..not a surprise that pretty much all Laker fans are disgusting..

[Giuseppe]

Don't even start, Har, you have your own rapist now. We share the shit sandwich equally, well, now that Barnes went off, we'll take 2/3 of it, but, yer still chowin' down that remaining 1/3, keed.

[Banzai]

Matt Barnes....only thing he'll contribute is ________. (fill in blank)

[Killakobe81]

Non issue ... LOL
Beating on women is the lowest of the low. But I'll reserve judgement to the facts come out ...BTW i think those ARE scratches ...
LOL spur fans here slinging mud ... I try to make cases upstairs the spurs were still contenders ... and MOST of the replies where no we are not!

so have fun here ...sounds like the Artest crap from last off-season ...how did that work out?

[Giuseppe]

She has no more right to assault him as vice versa.

[lefty]

So he's claiming he got beat up by a girl? That's his defense?
Barnes should hire Kobe's lawyer

[Giuseppe]

.....or, better yet:::Neal's.

tee, hee.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Barnes should hire Kobe's lawyer

And his jeweler.

[ohmwrecker]

it was in sacramento, not in LA. lol read before you plagiarize :cry

lol look up the definition of plagiarize before using it in a sentence.

[ohmwrecker]

True, but, we each have a rapist now.

ha, ha.

The Spurs "alleged" rapist is a 12th man at best, and yours is the leader of a team of full of nitwits.

[Giuseppe]

Uh, uh, none of that crapola, Wrecker. Neal is on your team. You're going to be held accountable for it.

And that's just the way it's gonna be.

Barnes’ fiance says domestic accusation false (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-lakers-barnes-arrested)

The fiance of Los Angeles Lakers player Matt Barnes says a domestic violence accusation against him is false, and he has never physically abused her or her family.

Gloria Govan made the comments in a statement issued Thursday.

Barnes was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of domestic violence after deputies responded to a disconnected 911.

Sacramento County sheriff’s spokesman Tim Curran says when deputies went to the home that Barnes shares with Govan late Wednesday afternoon they found her with visible injuries. Curran says Barnes was arrested after deputies determined he was the primary aggressor.

Barnes, released after posting a $50,000 bond, is scheduled to be arraigned Sept. 13.

I'm cool with it...Barnes simply perfecting in private the art of bitch slapping in preparation for the public bitch slapping of Lebron...

Carry on son..slap those bitches...:toast

[Donkeybong]

Looks like Matt Barnes will be my new Brian Cook.

[lefty]

Barnes is going to work out better than Ariza. Book it.
I think so

1 little incident so what?

He's a Laker, what do you expect? They have a raper (Kobe), a nut (Artest, and now a wife-beater (Barnes). :lol

[BadOdor]

Damn, lakers are almost as bad as the spurs nowdays!

[ezau]

Lakers have the most criminals than any other team in the league. They should prolly get Arenas and Delonte West to get a first five of Kobe, Artest, Barnes, Arenas, and Delonte

Well that's the NBA All-Criminal Team right there. :toast Congrats


Let me give you the Laker play by play when we come to your city:


First we defraud you like Fisher by convincing you to meet us at the arena for a decent, fairly played NBA game. After you’ve purchased your tickets and popcorn you realize the Lakers players typically play like shit, similar to drinking Hennessy like Ron Ron and smoking weed like Odom. So you get upset start talking shit so we slap you around a minute like Barnes. However, the slapping doesn't phase you so you talk more shit and finally with the help of the NBA refs we bend you over like Kobe and horse fuck the shit out of you and after we’re done we tell you to get the fuck out of the arena you filthy jewish bastards like Paul Gasol…


We do all of this while Phil quietly approves on the sidelines…



The NBA is amazing indeed and that in a nutshell is why I love this team :toast.

[Giuseppe]

You got a rapist as well, Ez. You're no better.

Let us proceed...

[lefty]

Thanks, I found it on Spurs.com
Yeah the resemblance is meh, but the cartoonish style is nice.

BTW, Sasha in your sig is really photoshop material

[ezau]

You got a rapist as well, Ez. You're no better.

Let us proceed...

Cully, we only have Gary Neal, I don't think he's a good foundation as far as building an All-Star cast of criminals.

I hadn't read this thread until now but I that name jumped out at me. So I googled and that's the sister of Laura Govan, Gilbert Arenas' wifey who allegedly was fucking Shaq on the side.

WTF?! Do these bitches have magic pussy or something?

[Giuseppe]

"after deputies responded to a disconnected 911"

:lmao You can't get the motherf'ers to come out otherwise. Hang up on a 911, and here they come, bells & whistles blarin' :lmao
