Matt Barnes Arrested on Domestic Violence Charges

Los Angeles Lakers forward Matt Barnes has been arrested yesterday on domestic violence charges after police responded to a phone call that directed them to his home in Sacramento.

Police found Barnes and a woman, who is presumed to be his girlfriend, both with injuries.  Police determined that the player was the primary aggressor and detained him.  But Barnes is fighting the charges against him saying he is the victim of this case.
A reporter from Sacramento News 10 revealed the player responded to a text message proclaiming his innocence:
“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…”
Then he posted on his Twitter account:
“DON’T LET YOUR EARS WITNESS, WHAT YOUR EYES DIDN’T SEE!!!”
Matt Barnes was released after paying a $50,000 bond.
