Don't worry, Artest will set him straight.
http://www.sportingnews.com/nba/stor...lence-incidentLos Angeles Lakers forward Matt Barnes was arrested Wednesday in California on su ion 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 su ion 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.

Barnes sux
he played pretty well for the warriors in 2007...
Nice pick-up Lakers.
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.
Paul Pierce a shining example.
tee, hee.
what a hero
well, his fiancee is probably trash too
Great job Lakers, tee hee
Are those scratch marks on his neck?
Looks like a tat, Acme, but I could be wrong.
yeah, that would really matter to a Hornets fan.
Is he about to cry?
Probably. Fake wannabe thugs tend to cry when real thug happens to them.
Must be taking advice from Kobe on how to treat women...
damn matt, what's with the dumb and dumber haircut ????
No joke
Why of all hairstyles, does he choose this?
that's just some bad lettuce on his head ....... dude knows he has anger issues. When a 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 and say he did it.
Just stay single.
I'll tell you why, ManFrom.
Why of all hairstyles, does he choose this?
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 mother er, you...
tee, hee
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.
he joined the Lakers
lol great pick-up
Nothing to see here. Matt just living the life in LA.
