Dallas Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery in Miami early Thursday morning following an alleged incident at a nightclub, according to court records.

The four-time WNBA All-Star was reportedly arrested at the nightclub E11EVEN after allegedly punching a man in the face, according to arrest records. The incident occurred during what appeared to be a celebration following the Unrivaled championship.

The 27-year-old guard has been a standout player for the Dallas Wings and has earned multiple WNBA All-Star selections throughout her career. She is known as one of the league's top scorers and has represented the United States in international competition.

Details about the circumstances leading to the alleged altercation have not been released. The misdemeanor battery charge is pending in Miami courts.
