Published
Former NBA star Eric Bledsoe was arrested on Wednesday after he allegedly struck a woman in the face … TMZ Sports has learned.
The California Highway Patrol tells us officers placed Bledsoe into custody at around 2:30 AM following an investigation into a report of a domestic violence incident that occurred on a Los Angeles-area freeway.
According to the CHP, officers’ probe into the matter led them to a gas station near US-101 … where they found Bledsoe and a woman who was suffering from “bruising and swelling to her face.”
Cops say the woman told them Bledsoe hit her … and after they say Bledsoe “refused to provide a statement,” they put him in handcuffs and threw him behind bars.
Jail records show the 35-year-old was booked on a felony domestic violence charge … and held on $50,000 bail.
Bledsoe was previously arrested on a similar charge back in 2022 … but that case was dropped when prosecutors said the alleged victim gave “inconsistent statements about whether there was a physical altercation.”
Bledsoe — a former first-round pick — played in the NBA from 2010 to 2022 … and averaged 13.7 points and 4.7 assists per game.
