Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner arrested
Phoenix Mercury center Brittney Griner and her fiancée, Glory Johnson, were arrested on Wednesday in Goodyear, Ariz. Johnson is a forward for the Tulsa Shock.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office booking information shows the two were arrested for suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct.
Griner and Johnson, each 24, were released early Thursday morning, according to jail records. TMZ reports police "were called to Griner's home around 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday -- after receiving a call about a domestic dispute between the two women. When cops arrived, we're told officers observed 'minor physical injuries' on both Brittney and Glory."
Griner propelled the Phoenix Mercury to the WNBA title in 2014 and earned Defensive Player of the Year honors.
