Former NBA player Patrick Beverley was arrested after being accused by his teenage sister of grabbing her by the neck with a tight grip and punching her in the eye during an incident early Friday morning at their mother’s home in Fort Bend County, Texas.

Beverley, 37, is being charged with the third-degree felony of assault of a family/household member and impeding breath and could face two to 10 years in prison and/or up to $10,000 in fines. A bond of $40,000 was set, which TMZ reports was posted the same day.

The affidavit states that Beverley’s sister said her brother “squeezed her neck causing her to feel pain” and she felt like “she was losing oxygen and not able to breathe” for approximately 20 to 30 seconds. Beverley’s sister also stated that he slammed her body against the walls and punched her in the left eye, according to the affidavit.

The alleged victim told Ramirez that “Patrick Beverley made a statement to her during the assauit, to the extent that he will be the family relative to kill her,” the affidavit states.
