MINNEAPOLIS — Dante Cunningham, forward for the Minnesota Timberwolves, has been arrested for the second time in three days according to the Associated Press. Cunningham was arrested for sending threatening messages to a woman he was living with that “rose to a terroristic level,” police told the AP Monday.
Medina, MN police released the details one day after Cunningham was jailed for another alleged incident with the woman he had been living with for the previous eight months. The AP has learned that Cunningham had already been charged with felony domestic assault for allegedly choking the woman last week.
Police told the AP they received a call from the woman in the early morning hours on Sunday saying Cunningham had violated a protection order by contacting her.
Medina Police later told the AP “When the officer arrived and reviewed the messages, they were direct and rose to a terroristic level.”
Cunningham turned himself into authorities and released his cellphone and computer as part of the investigation. The Associated Press left a message with Cunningham’s attorney seeking comment. Cunningham remained in custody following his arrest, but has not been charged yet.
