celebrating Unrivaled title
MIAMI (AP) --- Dallas Wings star Arike Ogunbowale was arrested and charged with
misdemeanor battery after police say she punched a man in the face at a Miami
nightclub.
A four-time WNBA All-Star, Ogunbowale was celebrating early Thursday at the
club E11EVEN after winning the Unrivaled championship with the Mist that night.
According to Miami-Dade County police records, Ogunbowale punched the man in
the face, knocking him to the ground, and security cameras captured the act.
The county corrections department said Ogunbowale has been released from
custody.
"The league is aware of an incident involving Arike Ogunbowale and we are in
the process of gathering additional information," Unrivaled spokesperson Tish
Carmona said. "We're in contact with Arike and her representatives."
The Wings said they were aware of her arrest and "are in the process of
gathering more information. Further comments will be provided once we have more
details."
The Associated Press left message seeking comment with Excel Management, which
represents Ogunbowale.
Ogunbowale scored 19 points in the title game Wednesday night against the
Phantom.
