Malik Beasley Sentenced To 120 Days In Jail Over Felony Rifle Incident
Back in December, we reported on NBA player Malik Beasley pleading guilty to a felony charge after threatening a family with a rifle. Now, he’s been sentenced to 120 days in jail over the incident.
On Tuesday (Feb. 9), A Hennepin County court sentenced the Minnesota Timberwolves guard to 120 days in the Hennepin County Workhouse with work release and home confinement options. Once he completes his sentence, Beasley’s threat of violence felony charge will be reduced to a misdemeanor, and his drug possession charge, he was also hit with, will be dropped entirely.

As we reported, the incident occurred after a house-hunting couple and their 13-year-old child arrived to Beasley’s home, rented by the baller and his now-estranged wife, Montana Yao. Despite being roped off, the family proceeded onto the premises, leading Beasley to tap on the window of the family’s SUV and point a rifle at them, telling them to get off of his property. Upon police arrival, they retrieved a 12-gauge shotgun, a handgun, and an automatic rifle, matching the victims’ description. Police also found leafy marijuana in the home, a form that is illegal in Minnesota.
