Atlanta police: Arrest warrant issued for ex-WNBA star Holdsclaw on aggravated assault charge

ATLANTA – Atlanta police say a warrant has been issued for former WNBA star and Olympic gold medallist Chamique Holdsclaw who is accused of shooting into a woman’s car after using a bat to break its windows.

Police said Thursday that Holdsclaw followed the woman, Jennifer Lacy, to her car on Tuesday afternoon. WNBA spokesman Ron Howard says the 29-year-old Lacy plays for the Tulsa Shock.

No one was injured. Lacy identified the 35-year-old Holdsclaw as an ex-girlfriend and both played for the Atlanta Dream in 2009.

A number for Holdsclaw listed in the report went to voicemail and it was unknown whether she had an attorney.

Police say Holdsclaw is wanted on charges of aggravated assault and reckless conduct.
