Miles Bridges pleaded no contest to a felony domestic violence charge Thursday and will face three years of probation and no jail time as part of a deal with prosecutors, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
“We believe this resolution was the best avenue to hold Mr. Bridges accountable for his conduct,” a spokesman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office told The Athletic in an email. “We also understand through the victim’s representatives that the victim wanted an expedited resolution of the case. The victim and her representatives were consulted about the proposed resolution and agreed with the outcome of the case. The District Attorney’s Office Bureau of Victim Services remains ready to aid the victims in the case.”
A restitution hearing in the case is scheduled for Jan. 13.
Bridges, a restricted free agent after playing for Charlotte since 2018, was arrested on June 29 and later charged with one felony count of injuring a child’s parent and two felony counts of child abuse under circumstances or conditions likely to cause great bodily injury or death. The felony charges also included an allegation of causing great bodily injury on the domestic violence victim, which was also dismissed as part of the plea agreement.
According to the criminal complaint, Bridges allegedly assaulted his girlfriend in front of their two children on or about June 27 and 28. The 24-year-old pleaded not guilty to all three charges at the time.
During his probation, Bridges will be required to complete 52 weeks of domestic violence counseling, 52 weeks of parenting classes, complete 100 hours of community service and undergo weekly narcotics testing with marijuana allowed only if there is a valid doctor’s prescription.
Bridges, a first-round pick in 2018 out of Michigan State, averaged 20.2 points and seven rebounds per game last season while helping Charlotte reach the Play-In Tournament.
