Dallas Wings star guard Arike Ogunbowale was arrested early Thursday morning at a Miami nightclub on a battery charge, police said.
According to the arrest report, a security guard told officers he was trying to escort Ogunbowale out of the club after an unrelated altercation when she allegedly punched him in the face with a closed fist, knocking him to the ground.
A Miami police officer said surveillance video reviewed at the scene supported the guard’s account.
In a statement, the Dallas Wings said they are aware of the incident and "are in the process of gathering more information. Further comments will be provided once we have more details."
Police said Ogunbowale was arrested without incident and booked into the Miami-Dade County jail. She was released on bond Thursday afternoon.
