Police body cameras recorded officers aiming tasers at several WNBA athletes during the March arrest of Dallas Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale outside a nightclub after staff accused her of punching them.
Hours earlier her Mist BC squad had won the Unrivaled three-on-three title. Teammates Paige Bueckers, Jackie Young and DiJonai Carrington plus host Maria Clifton stood nearby as an officer directed a taser at the crowd and close to Bueckers face. Bueckers placed an arm around Ogunbowale and told police the group could handle her, after which they turned her over.
Ogunbowale was charged with battery, posted one thousand dollars bail and had the case dropped in May when prosecutors chose not to proceed, according to her attorney Mitch Schuster speaking to ESPN.
