GOODYEAR, Ariz. – Phoenix
Mercury star, Brittney Griner and her fiancee, fellow WNBA player Glory
Johnson, were arrested on suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct after an
argument in the home they recently purchased together became physical.
The two 24-year-olds were each arrested on counts of assault by
recklessly causing physical injuries and disorderly conduct for fighting. They
were booked into the Maricopa County Jail in downtown Phoenix and later
released.
The agent for Johnson did not immediately respond to a request
for comment Thursday.
Griner told police that she and Johnson had been arguing every
day and got into each other's faces Wednesday afternoon in the home they had
bought two days earlier after Johnson said Griner "disrespected" her,
according to a police report.
The WNBA and the teams said in statements that they were looking
into the situation and did not comment further.
Griner is a two-time AP college basketball player of the year
and led Baylor to a 40-0 season and the 2012 NCAA title. She was the No. 1 pick
by the Mercury in the 2013 draft.
