Pelicans center Jaxson Hayes has been charged with 12 misdemeanors in Los Angeles related to a domestic incident last summer, TMZ reports.
The charges lodged by the city attorney in Los Angeles County against Hayes include – but are not limited to – inflicting corporal injury (domestic violence charge), destroying property, use of force, resisting a police officer, and using force and violence against an LAPD member.
Hayes was originally charged with a felony after the July incident and was held on $25K bond. The incident occurred after police were called to a home where Hayes was staying due to a domestic disturbance. Hayes allegedly tried to prevent law enforcement from entering the home and the confrontation became so heated that a Taser was used on Hayes. Hayes was taken to a hospital to treat minor injuries and an officer also sought medical treatment.
Hayes apparently pushed the officer into a wall, causing an arm injury to the policeman.
During the arrest, Hayes claimed he couldn’t breathe. A probe within the LAPD was launched regarding that claim but the results are unknown, according to the TMZ report.
Hayes, the eighth pick in the 2019 draft, was out of the Pelicans’ rotation for a portion of this season but has appeared regularly since late December. He’s averaging 6.8 PPG and 3.4 RPG in 33 games off the bench.
What in the wide wide world of sports is wrong with these guys?
They are human, and humans conduct this type of behavior, some often some never, nonetheless, they are human
12 misdemeanors often don’t amount to much of anything when it comes to doing any sort of actual time.
It’s California….specifically LA county. He’ll likely get a medal and parade for attacking the police.

Thanks for just re-stating what we already read and nothing else. Was there a point you were trying to make or what?
I ‘think’ he’s a bot…
Either that or a very thorough, patient and surreal troll.

You should write for the site.
He is being charged with as much as possible because he put hands on an officer. But the prosecutors work differently than law enforcement. They’ll have him plead guilty to one or two things, and drop the rest.
A lot of domestic charges don’t stick anyway because the victim doesn’t cooperate. (Afraid of retaliation, forgives the abuser, or is afraid of losing the income the abuser provides).
Doesn’t matter how many misdemeanors as long as you don’t get a felony
Was there alcohol involved in the incident? Not saying these are acts that people (specifically professionals athletes) wouldn’t commit sober, just seems very out of character for Hayes. Clearly the Pelicans think that as well, evidenced by his playing time.
Pushed a police officer against a wall… and got a misdemeanor!!? The wealthy and famous certainly do play by a different set of rules. Wow!
He average more misdemeanors than Points. Lol. Scrub.
