An arrest warrant has been issued in Alabama for DeMarcus Cousins stemming from a threatening phone call he allegedly made to the mother of his child, cops say.
“An arrest warrant has been issued,” a spokesperson for the Mobile Police Dept. told USA Today.
According to the MPD’s website, Cousins is facing a domestic violence charge — 3rd degree harassing communications, a misdemeanor.
The charge carries a maximum sentence of 1 year behind bars.
TMZ Sports broke the story … the NBA star’s ex-girlfriend Cristy West told police she recorded a phone call with Cousins in which he threatened to “put a bullet in your f*cking head” if she wouldn’t let their 7-year-old child attend his wedding.
