Ty Lawson charged with criminal mischief and harassment after dispute with girlfriend

The incident occurred Saturday, with a judge prohibiting Lawson from contacting the apparent victim. He was released on $1,000 bail Monday.

The 25-year-old has gotten into minor trouble at various points in his professional career. Most notably was a DUI during his North Carolina days, but nothing along those lines has surfaced since. He was found guilty in 2012 for “permitting an unauthorized person to drive” and in January was arrested for “flight to avoid prosecution.”
