Patrick Beverley, the former NBA guard, was arrested in Rosharon, Texas, early Friday morning on charges of public intoxication and resisting arrest. His local authorities charged him with felony assault related to a “family violence” episode. This arrest, made by the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office, is the latest in what is a very serious situation for the 37-year-old athlete.
Beverley’s run-ins with the law began when his 15-year-old sister was discovered at an 18-year-old man’s house in the suburbs. As you can imagine, the encounter turned violent, and he was arrested with a felony assault charge. Law enforcement mobilized effectively considering the situation and environment. Beverley’s bail has been set at $40,000.
He goes on to have an elite 12-year NBA career. He played for the Houston Rockets, the Los Angeles Clippers, and retired as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks in 2024. His contributions to the league over the years have been widely recognized and celebrated. This latest incident now sullies his professional legacy.
Since his arrest, Beverley has gone to social media to share his side of the story. He shared an unsigned statement literally begging folks not to assume the worst based on what they see on social media.

Beverley’s message closed with an appeal for prayers for his family as they go through this trying time.
The impact of this event has been profound — not just for Beverley himself, but on his paternal expectations and family structure. The local authorities’ investigation is ongoing as they seek to learn more about the circumstances leading up to the arrest.
