Land Of The Uprising Suns

Two months after teammate (and fellow All-Star) Penny Hardaway was accused of threatening a girlfriend with a gun, Phoenix Suns guard Jason Kidd has been busted for allegedly striking his wife Joumana in the face during an argument.

While charges were not filed against Hardaway, Paradise Valley cops arrested Kidd on a misdemeanor domestic abuse charge. According to these January 18 police reports, the 6' 4" athlete struck his wife in the face while holding a yogurt container. He did this in full view of his two-year-old son, who was sitting nearby in his high chair. (5 pages)
