And just when you thought that Greg Oden was finally getting his career on track. He now gets arrested in Lawrence, Indiana for allegedly punching a woman. Details are from USA Today.
The incident happened around 3:30 a.m. in the 7200 block of Maple Bluff Place, according to a Lawrence Police Department report.
Officers arrived at the home to find the victim crying and lying across a bed holding her face, police said. A woman described as the victim’s best friend first told officers what happened, police said.
“He punched her in the face,” the witness said, according to the report.
Police “observed blood, swelling to the nose, lacerations to the forehead and nose area of the victim’s face,” according to the report. They also “observed blood on the sofa and floor in the sitting area. (They) observed (blood) on the living room carpet (and) dirt from a flower pot that was knocked over.”
This escalated very fast. This doesn’t look good for Oden.
If you look back to last week he was scheduled to have a workout with the Clippers.
Safe to say this situation helps his chances.
