Grand Jury Declines to Indict Patrick Beverley in Texas Assault Case

The no-bill closes the criminal case after prosecutors presented evidence from the November arrest.

Overview

  • A Fort Bend County grand jury returned a no-bill on Monday, finding insufficient evidence to bring charges against the former NBA guard.
  • Authorities had arrested Beverley on Nov. 14 on a third-degree felony allegation involving impeding breath during an incident at his mother’s home in Rosharon.
  • A probable cause affidavit detailed the 15-year-old sister’s claims of choking, slamming, and a punch, with deputies noting neck marks and petechiae.
  • Attorneys Rusty Hardin and Letitia Quinones-Hollins said Beverley would never harm his sister and praised the decision; Beverley later said the ordeal strengthened his family.
  • The decision ends the criminal case; separate professional issues remain, including an unserved four-game NBA suspension and a lawsuit over a past fan altercation, according to prior reports.
