Waived by Thunders, Former OKC Player, DeAndre Liggins Turns Himself in After Beating up Girlfriend

OKC Thunders have officially waived swingman DeAndre Liggins. Liggins currently has several felonies over his head, seven to be exact.

Liggins turned himself into the Oklahoma City jail this morning for pending domestic abuse charges and was later released on bond. Matt Dinger of NewsOK.com reported,

"Liggins, 24, is charged with three counts of domestic abuse, two counts of domestic assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, one count of kidnapping and one count of violating a protective order. ...

According to a probable cause affidavit filed in the case, an argument between Liggins and his girlfriend, Jasmine Horton, at the basketball player's Oklahoma City home on Aug. 31 led to Liggins grabbing Horton by the hair, pulling her out of bed, throwing her to the ground and punching her 11 or 12 times. Most of the blows struck the back of her head, the affidavit states.

Liggins left the bedroom and Horton locked the bedroom door, but Liggins kicked the door open, grabbed her by the hair and threw her to the ground, where he again punched her, then stomped and kicked her on the head and back, the affidavit states.

Both incidents were witnessed by the couple's 2-year-old son, according to the affidavit.

Liggins is then accused of throwing an Xbox and box fan, striking Horton in the head with both items. Liggins and Rogers would not let Horton leave and blocked the doorway, but she managed to escape the house twice. Both times, Rogers grabbed her and dragged her back inside the house, according to the affidavit."

The whole ordeal is messy and for Liggins to be a non-guaranteed contract player shows his stupidity alongside beating up on the mother of his child. Stay tuned for more news and information.
