San Francisco (GaeaTimes.com) - Lakers’ star player Matt Barnes has been arrested yesterday on charges of domestic violence according to Sacramento County authorities. He was accused of “Physical Confrontation” with a woman with whom he has been dating for quite some time. According to Sheriff’s spokesperson Sgt. Tim Curran, Barnes was arrested after an incomplete 911 call from Sacramento residence around 4:16 p.m., yesterday. Curran has also admitted that the deputies of sheriff had found both Barnes and the lady with some visible injury. But they took Barnes into custody after determining that he was the main aggressor in it. The identity of the lady has not been published yet, but it is sure that they were dating and living in for quite some time.

The 30 year old basketball star has signed into Lakers Club. Before signing in it he was in Golden State. Probably he had passed his golden time in Golden State. Matt’s offence improved drastically after joining in this club. He scored 106 point in 06-07 seasons. After spending one full year in Golden Gate, Barnes returned to Warriors for 07-08 and stayed almost a year there. Later he joined Orlando Magic on 23rd July, 2009. It was a two year deal with Magic. But after Magic was eliminated from 2010 NBA playoffs, he decided to leave Magic. On 23rd July, 2010 he joined Lakers and signed a two year contract.

The accused was taken into Sacramento County Jail. He was charged in two cases, domestic violence and malicious obstacle for use of telephone lines. Barnes was charged $50,000 for his bail. Yesterday on his twitter account he posted,

DON’T LET YOUR EARS WITNESS, WHAT YOUR EYES DIDN’T SEE!!!

He is actually telling his followers that he was not accused, it was a big mistake by deputies. Moreover he also said,

U know any domestic violence situation 9 out of 10 times the man gets arrested. That’s the case here I was the victim but still got arrested. No matter what I say people are gonna think what they want…
