What did Patrick Beverley say after he was arrested for felony assault?

Beverley spoke out on Friday shortly after he was arrested on a felony assault charge in Fort Bend County, Texas.

“Please don’t believe everything you see on the internet. Hope all is well Luv,” Beverley wrote on X.

Beverley’s lawyer said in a statement that the former Houston Rockets guard was only standing up for his sister.

“Patrick Beverley has no criminal record. He cares deeply about his little sister – a young lady, a minor,” the attorney wrote, per KHOU 11. “Given that, when he unexpectedly found her alone in the home with an 18-year-old man in the middle of the night, he was understandably concerned, as any brother would be about his sister. However, we don’t believe what followed happened the way it’s been described and we look forward to the opportunity to address that in court.”

According to TMZ, Beverly is facing a third-degree felony charge after the confrontation. The ex-player already posted bail, which was set at $40,000. Police haven’t provided any additional details about Beverley’s arrest.
