Welcome to Arrest Stories. Former Duke basketball star and NBA player Kyle Singler was arrested in Oklahoma on domestic violence charges after allegedly assaulting his girlfriend and making threats while appearing to be under the influence of drugs. Here's what may have happened.
On Thursday, August eleventh, twenty twenty-three, thirty-seven-year-old Kyle Singler found himself in police custody following a violent domestic dispute at his Oklahoma residence. According to official reports, the incident began when Singler allegedly demanded sexual contact from his girlfriend, who refused his advances.
When the woman declined, authorities say Singler's behavior escalated dramatically. Police reports indicate he threatened to rape her before physically attacking her, pushing her to the ground during what witnesses described as a violent altercation. The victim sustained visible injuries including bruising on her arms and what appeared to be finger outline marks on her face.
The situation became more alarming when Singler allegedly attempted to reach the woman's toddler while continuing his threatening behavior. Throughout the incident, responding officers noted that Singler appeared to be under the influence of drugs, which may have contributed to his erratic and aggressive conduct.
The arrest comes after Singler posted concerning videos on social media in November twenty twenty-two and again in November twenty twenty-three. In these troubling posts, he stated: "I have been mistreated and abused, neglected, made into a mental example and I fear for my life. Every day." He also expressed feeling that his "strength and purpose does not get valued or get treated properly."
Singler achieved basketball stardom from two thousand seven to two thousand eleven at Duke University, helping lead the Blue Devils to a national championship in twenty ten before pursuing a professional career in the NBA.
Community members have expressed mixed reactions, with one official stating: "Kyle Singler is innocent until proven guilty" while adding "If these charges move from allegations to proven, he must be held accountable." Another source commented: "Hopefully, Singler can get his life back on track."
All suspects presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Do not take this report as factual, always verify facts. Thanks for watching Arrest Stories.
