Tag: assault on ex girlfriend

Former WNBA player Chamique Holdsclaw unleashed built up anger on her ex-girlfriend / ex-teammate, Jennifer Lacy by bashing in her car and firing a gun.  According to TMZ.com, Lacy believed her former Atlanta Dream teammate was still angry at her for breaking-up their 4  year-long relationship.

On November 13th, Holdsclaw had been following Lacy in her Range Rover SUV.  She waited for Lacy to pull the car over and get out.  Raging and armed, Chamique approached the SUV and smashed in windows, next she drew a nine mm pistol, fired a shot into the car and then fled.

Police noted an odor of an accelerant  in and on the SUV.  They suspect Chamique Holdsclaw poured gas onto the car prior to the incident with the intent of blowing the SUV up by firing a bullet into it.

Jennifer Lacy, was not injured and is refusing to speak to her unstable ex.  Chamique Holdsclaw is being held in an Atlanta jail on $100,000 bail and must comply with wearing a home monitoring ankle bracelet before being released.  Holdsclaw is facing 2 counts of aggravated assault, 2 counts of criminal damage to property and 1 count of possession of a fire arm during the commission of a felony.  She is scheduled back to court November 30th.

Holdsclaw’s fame has come from her talent to score points in a basketball game.  However, in this legal situation, Holdsclaw wants to sit the bench and not score points because the more she scores in this game the longer and harsher the sentencing range would become if she were to be found guilty of the allegations.
