She got the Ja Morant dreads WNBA champion Riquna Williams ARRESTED on DOMESTIC VIOLENCE c
Riquna Williams of the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces was recently booked under felony domestic charges involving her wife. She’s just coming off of a championship run as a 10-year veteran. But things can go south from here onwards. Riquna Williams is facing five felony charges and four misdemeanor domestic battery charges. As of now, she’s out of jail without needing any bail. However, she is under alcohol monitoring.
Williams didn’t speak during her first hearing in court and the next date for her is August 2. The judge has also told her to have no contact with her spouse. Her wife has already relocated herself. The victim also stated that they got married in 2022 and were in a relationship for four years.
According to the evidence obtained by ESPN, Riquna Williams accused her spouse to be unfaithful in the marriage. The WNBA star left to stay in the hotel but took the belongings of her wife with her as well. Later she even logged in to her mobile to find evidence of cheating. When Williams returned back home an argument between the couple ensued.
It didn’t take long for the verbal banter to turn aggressive. Reports claim Williams punched, kicked, and attempted to strangle her wife. After doing so she left the house and the wife called the cops some hours later. She reported the violent assault lasted for an hour. The police department has also reported injury marks on the victim’s face.

As an organization, we condemn domestic violence of any kind. At this time, Riquna Williams will be precluded from participating in team activities.
