According to a report by CBS Miami, retired NBA star Amar’e Stoudemire was arrested Saturday on charges of domestic violence  after he allegedly punched one of his teen daughters in the jaw for being disrespectful to her elders.

during an argument, . Stoudemire, the 2003 NBA Rookie of the Year whose career included lengthy stops with the Phoenix Suns and New York Knicks, faces a misdemeanor battery charge.

CBS Sports Reports: According to a police report, the dispute began when the victim’s grandmother called for her and Stoudemire did not like the way in which she spoke to her grandmother. The father and daughter then began arguing over whether she had an “attitude” before Stoudemire allegedly punched her on the right side of her face when she began “talking back again.” Stoudemire then allegedly slapped his daughter in the face and then again on the left side of her body.

Investigators reported that the girl’s mother, Stoudemire’s ex-wife, showed them photos of her daughter crying with blood running down her face. Stoudemire told police that her daughter was upset because “she received a whooping from him for being disrespectful and liar.”
