Boston Celtics forward Jared Sullinger has been arrested on domestic violence-related charges. The District Attorney office says the forward from THE Ohio State University entering his second year in the NBA is to be arraigned Tuesday.
Police were called to Sullinger’s residence on Saturday night for a domestic assault call.
The alleged victim is girlfriend of Jared Sullinger.
Sullinger was not home when police arrived and a warrant was issued for his arrest. He turned himself in around 6 a.m. Tuesday and was booked on charges of assault and battery, malicious destruction of property and witness intimidation.
Jared Sullinger saw his NBA Draft stock fall do to issues with his health. There were concerns about his health. Sullinger didn’t play much as a rookie averaging 6 ppg and just under 6 rpg. He missed 37 games. If Jared Sullinger can clear himself of this situation, which looks rather serious right now, it will be interesting to see how Jared Sullinger fits in with new Celtics Coach Brad Stevens.
As Stevens was all about character guys when he coached Butler.
