Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna’s wife is accused of hitting him with a soap dish.

First reported by Fox Sports’ Andy Slater, Genesis Ozuna, 33, was arrested May 29 and charged with misdemeanor battery after Marcell Ozuna showed up to the Doral police station with a “small laceration” on his face two weeks prior.

Court records obtained by the Miami Herald show Genesis Ozuna pleaded not guilty and filed a motion to amend the order that required her to stay away from her husband.

The couple, who have been married for 10 years, got into an argument at a party during the early morning of May 12. Their dispute soon turned physical, with both sides hitting one another, officers say.

Hoping to calm down, he left the home for about a hour. His brief hiatus ultimately didn’t work. The couple picked up right where they left off upon his return. She eventually became so enraged that she hurled the dish at his head, striking him in the upper left temple, police say.

It’s unclear what started the argument.

A two-time All-Star, Marcell Ozuna, 29, was entering into his eighth year in the big leagues before the MLB suspended play due to the coronavirus pandemic. He played five seasons with the Miami Marlins before a 2017 trade sent him to St. Louis. After two years with with the Cardinals, he became free agent in 2019.

He signed a one-year, $18 million deal with the Braves in January. He had two hits and batted .083 through nine spring training games.

New Zealand thrilled to snatch sporting spotlight with Premier League

In other news from the sport, New Zealand will be proud to revive elite tennis next week when it stages the “Premier League” in Auckland, marking the southern hemisphere’s first pro competition since the Covid-19 pandemic brought global sport to a halt.

The men’s team-based tournament will run for three weeks from June 3, giving tennis-starved fans something to watch in the absence of the pinnacle ATP and WTA tours, which have been suspended since early March.

It will also have the sporting spotlight exclusively in New Zealand for its opening 10 days, having left professional rugby union’s June 13 restart in the dust.

All 112 matches will be staged without the general public in the terraces but the games will be broadcast live on Sky Sport’s Youtube channel, Sky Sport Next.

“Yeah, it’s a big thing,” Tennis New Zealand’s commercial manager Gareth Archer told Reuters.

“As soon as rugby starts there’s probably no more talk about (anything else) in New Zealand so to get a week or two on them is a good thing.”

The wife of Baltimore Ravens safety Earl Thomas III was arrested last month in Texas after pointing a loaded gun at her husband’s head during an argument.

Nina Thomas was arrested on April 13 in Austin, Texas, and charged with first-degree felony burglary of a residence with intent to commit aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to a court document obtained Thursday by ESPN’s Jamison Hensley.

A team spokesman said the Ravens are aware of the situation but that Thomas did not notify the team of the incident.

Earl Thomas was not arrested, and an attorney representing Nina Thomas said Thursday that she “was wrongfully arrested.”

According to an arrest warrant from the Travis County magistrate court, Nina Thomas told police that she confronted her husband at a rental home because she believed he was cheating on her.

Nina Thomas told police she used Snapchat to track Earl to the rental home, brought two other women with her, and found her husband and his brother in separate bedrooms with two other women.

According to the document, an officer viewed cellphone video footage that shows Nina Thomas placing Earl’s 9 mm Beretta less than a foot away from her husband’s head, with the safety disengaged and her finger on the trigger.

Nina Thomas told police she had called the other women to help confront her husband and took his handgun with an intent to “scare him,” according to the document. She had taken the magazine out of the gun but was unaware of a round in the chamber.

According to the arrest warrant, Tiffany Loving, who was one of the women at the rental residence with the Thomas brothers, told police that Earl asked Nina to give him the gun, but Nina began hitting him with her free hand, striking him in the eye, arm and groin. Earl and Nina then fell on the ground and “tussled” for the gun, the warrant said.

The two women who arrived with Nina — Camisha Garlow and Kayla Baham-Heisser — were also arrested for burglary of a residence.

Earl Thomas, a seven-time Pro Bowler who turned 31 on Thursday, wrestled the gun away from Nina Thomas, according to the document. When police arrived at 3:41 a.m., they found Nina Thomas with a knife and chasing Earl, who had the gun.

Earl Thomas indicated in an Instagram post Wednesday night, which has since been deleted, that TMZ would be releasing details of the altercation and said he wanted to “get ahead” of the report.

“It’s not really anybody’s business,” he said in the since-deleted post. “It pisses me off that it got out, but it’s the world we live in today. But instead of talking about us, just keep us in y’all’s prayers. Stuff like this happens.”

Thomas said he is talking with his wife and is seeing their three children. Nina Thomas’ first court appearance is scheduled for June 8.

Thomas is entering the second year of a four-year, $55 million contract with the Ravens and is scheduled to make $10 million this season. In his first year with the Ravens, Thomas reached the Pro Bowl after making 49 tackles and intercepting two passes.

“We became aware of the situation when we read and saw it on the reports late last night and early this morning,” a Ravens spokesman told ESPN.

AUSTIN, Texas (KXAN) — Austin police arrested the wife of NFL player Earl Thomas after they say she held him at gunpoint when she went to confront him about an affair.

Police responded to a residence in east Austin around 3:41 a.m. on April 13 for a call of a disturbance. Officers found a woman with a knife chasing a shirtless man who was holding a gun around a car. They later identified the woman as Nina Thomas, 30, and the man as Earl Thomas. Thomas, 31, is the star defensive back for the Baltimore Ravens National Football League team.

Earl Thomas told police he was staying at the apartment with a relative, that man’s girlfriend and her friend, with whom Earl said he was in a romantic relationship with, as he “worked on his relationship with his wife,” according to the affidavit.

Nina Thomas told police she and her husband fought and she got suspicious after he left and checked his Snapchat account. That’s when she told police she saw him with another woman. She told police she grabbed Earl’s gun and was going to go the apartment to scare him.

According to the affidavit, Nina admitted she put the gun to Earl’s head with the intent to scare him. She said she removed the magazine, thinking the gun would not fire and admitted to disengaging the safety. Police say when they recovered the gun at the scene there was one bullet in the chamber.

Nina Thomas was arrested and charged with burglary of a residence with intent to commit aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

The wife of Baltimore Ravens safety Earl Thomas was arrested after police say she told them she pointed a loaded weapon at her husband’s head following an incident in which she caught him cheating on her.

The arrest occurred last month, but documents in the case surfaced just this week.

According to an Austin, Texas, police report obtained by NFL Media, police reached a rental home in East Austin on April 13th and found Thomas’ wife, Nina, chasing her husband on the property with a knife. Per police, Earl Thomas also was carrying a pistol that they later determined he had confiscated from his wife after she entered the home to confront him about his cheating.

Nina Thomas, 30, was arrested and charged with first-degree family violence for burglary of a residence with intent to commit aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Two women, who police say accompanied Nina to the residence, were charged with burglary of a residence.

According to the documents obtained by TMZ, Nina Thomas held a loaded gun at her husband’s head after she allegedly found him in bed with his brother and other women. She placed the gun less than a foot away from his head, with the safety disengaged and her finger on the trigger, per TMZ.

“I am here to declare that my client unequivocally and categorically denies these allegations and we look forward to our day in court where we can clear her good name,” Houston lawyer Jonathan Goins said on behalf of Nina Thomas, per USA Today.

The two, who were high school sweethearts, married in an elaborate ceremony in Texas in 2016.

Earl Thomas addressed the incident involving his wife in an Instagram video on Wednesday night to “get ahead” of a report that TMZ planned to release the details of the event in question.

“So I just wanted to get ahead of it. I mean, it’s really not anybody’s business,” Thomas said. “It’s (angering me) that it got out but it’s the world we live in today. Instead of talking about it, just keep us in y’all’s prayers. Stuff like this happens, bro. We try to live the best lives we possibly can but sometimes it don’t go as planned. Just pray for us as we go through this stuff. We’re back talking. I’m seeing my kids so just keep us in your prayers.”

Nina Thomas is set to appear in Travis County District Court on June 8th for an initial setting in the case.

“We became aware of the situation when we read and saw it on the reports late last night and early this morning,” the Ravens said Thursday morning, per a team spokesman.

Earl Thomas, 31, recorded 49 tackles, two interceptions, two sacks and a forced fumble in 15 games in 2019 after signing a four-year, $55 million contract with the Ravens in March.

A seven-time Pro Bowl selection and three-time All-Pro, Thomas has posted 713 tackles and 30 interceptions in 140 career games with the Seattle Seahawks (2010-18) and Ravens.

AUSTIN, Texas — Baltimore Ravens star Earl Thomas is listed as the victim in a domestic violence incident last month in Austin, where his wife was arrested after police say she told them she pointed a loaded weapon at her husband’s head when she found him in bed with another woman.

The incident, first reported by TMZ, happened in the early morning of April 13 at a rental home in East Austin in the 600 block of Brushy Street. Police say they responded to that location and found Thomas’ wife, Nina, chasing her husband in the parking lot with a knife, an arrest affidavit stated. Thomas, according to police, was carrying a pistol that they later determined he had taken away from Nina after she entered the home to confront her husband about cheating. Police ordered the Thomases to the ground and to drop their weapons, and the couple complied, the affidavit states.

Nina Thomas, 30, was arrested and charged with first-degree family violence for burglary of a residence with intent to commit aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Two women who police say accompanied Nina to the residence to confront her husband were charged with burglary of a residence.

Court records show Nina Thomas was released from jail later in the day after posting $25,000 bail. An emergency protective order states she cannot have contact with Earl Thomas or the woman whom she found Earl in bed with for 60 days.

Houston lawyer Jonathan Goins, who is listed as the attorney of record for Nina Thomas, issued a statement Thursday saying his client was wrongfully arrested.

“We have already gathered information which controverts every single allegation made on the night in question,” Goins said. “We have begun working with the Travis County District Attorney’s Office to ensure that these charges do not stick and Mrs. Thomas’s pristine name is cleared.”

The Ravens said Thursday in a statement: “We became aware of the situation when we read and saw it on the reports late last night and early this morning.”

Nina Thomas is set to appear in Travis County District Court on June 8 for an initial setting in the case.

Earl Thomas, who turned 31 Thursday, was not charged in the incident. He released a video Wednesday night on social media addressing the incident.

“Instead of talking about us, just keep us in your prayers,” Thomas said. “Stuff like this happens. We try to live the best lives we possibly can but sometimes it don’t go as planned. Just pray for us as we go through this stuff.”

Thomas told police that he left the home he shares with Nina in the afternoon before the incident after an argument about him drinking too much alcohol. He said he called his brother to pick him up and the two went to the downtown rental home to watch TV with two women — including one who Thomas told police he had been seeing for three or four months while he worked on his relationship with Nina.

Earl Thomas, according to his wife’s affidavit, was awoken in bed with the other woman at around 1 a.m. when Nina entered the room and pointed a black pistol at him. Nina largely corroborated the events, telling police she put the gun to her husband’s head to scare him. Police say Nina told them she removed the magazine thinking the gun could not fire but was unaware that the gun had a round in the chamber. Nina, according to police, admitted to disengaging the gun’s safety.

Nina told police, they say, that she tracked her husband’s whereabouts to the rental home through his Snapchat account, which showed several videos of Earl with the other woman. Two women who Nina brought to confront her husband were also taken into custody: her sister, Kayla Baham-Heisser, and her friend Camisha Garlow, the ex-spouse of Earl Thomas’ brother, Seth, who was with the football player at the rental home.

Baham-Heisser took footage of the incident with her phone that police reviewed. The video, according to police, shows Earl Thomas at the top of a staircase with Nina placing the gun within a foot of his head with her finger on the trigger. Nina struck Earl in the nose before the video ended, police said. The video also showed Garlow attempting to attack a woman who was in the home with Seth Thomas.

Thomas, a safety, is a seven-time Pro Bowl selection and considered one of the top defensive players in the NFL. He won a Super Bowl in the 2013 season with the Seattle Seahawks, who drafted him in the first round out of the University of Texas in 2010.

AUSTIN, Texas – Details have surfaced of an incident in April involving former Texas Longhorns star and current Baltimore Ravens safety Earl Thomas and his wife, Nina Thomas.

According to Travis County court documents obtained by KSAT-12, Nina Thomas was arrested on April 13 in Austin after she confronted Earl Thomas with a gun and pointed the weapon at his head.

The arrest affidavit stated that Nina Thomas confronted Earl at a rental home because she suspected him of cheating on her.

Nina and two other women broke into the home and found Earl and his brother Seth Thomas in separate rooms, each with a woman, documents showed.

At one point, Nina had the loaded gun less than a foot away from her husband’s head, according to the affidavit.

Earl Thomas managed to wrestle the gun away from Nina and police were called.

Officers arrived around 3:41 a.m. and found Nina Thomas chasing Earl with a knife.

According to the document, Nina Thomas told police her intent was just to “scare” her husband, but she did not realize there was a round in the chamber even though she had taken the magazine out of the gun.

Nina Thomas was charged with first-degree felony burglary of a residence with intent to commit aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to the affidavit.

The other two women with Nina Thomas were arrested for burglary of a residence.

Earl Thomas was not arrested for the incident. The 7-time Pro Bowl player posted a since-deleted video on Instagram Wednesday saying he was notified the story was about to come out and he wanted to get ahead of the report.

The story was initially published by TMZ.

“It’s not really anybody’s business. It pisses me off that it got out, but it’s the world we live in today. But instead of talking about us, just keep us in your prayers. Stuff like this happens,” Thomas said in the deleted video. “We try to live the best lives we possibly can, but sometimes that doesn’t go as planned. Just pray for us as we go though this.”

Thomas added he is speaking with Nina and seeing his children.

Thomas played at Texas from 2007 to 2009 and was drafted in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks.

Baltimore, his current team, has not announced whether any disciplinary action would be taken against Thomas.

AUSTIN, Texas — Baltimore Ravens star Earl Thomas is listed as the victim in a domestic violence incident last month in Austin, where his wife was arrested after police say she told them she pointed a loaded weapon at her husband’s head when she found him in bed with another woman.

The incident, first reported by TMZ, happened in the early morning of April 13 at a rental home in East Austin in the 600 block of Brushy Street. Police say they responded to that location and found Thomas’ wife, Nina, chasing her husband in the parking lot with a knife, an arrest affidavit stated. Thomas, according to police, was carrying a pistol that they later determined he had taken away from Nina after she entered the home to confront her husband about cheating. Police ordered the Thomases to the ground and to drop their weapons, and the couple complied, the affidavit states.

Nina Thomas, 30, was arrested and charged with first-degree family violence for burglary of a residence with intent to commit aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Two women who police say accompanied Nina to the residence to confront her husband were charged with burglary of a residence.

Court records show Nina Thomas was released from jail later in the day after posting $25,000 bail. An emergency protective order states she cannot have contact with Earl Thomas or the woman whom she found Earl in bed with for 60 days.

Houston lawyer Jonathan Goins, who is listed as the attorney of record for Nina Thomas, issued a statement Thursday saying his client was wrongfully arrested.

“We have already gathered information which controverts every single allegation made on the night in question,” Goins said. “We have begun working with the Travis County District Attorney’s Office to ensure that these charges do not stick and Mrs. Thomas’s pristine name is cleared.”

The Ravens said Thursday in a statement: “We became aware of the situation when we read and saw it on the reports late last night and early this morning.”

Nina Thomas is set to appear in Travis County District Court on June 8 for an initial setting in the case.

Earl Thomas, who turned 31 Thursday, was not charged in the incident. He released a video Wednesday night on social media addressing the incident.

“Instead of talking about us, just keep us in your prayers,” Thomas said. “Stuff like this happens. We try to live the best lives we possibly can but sometimes it don’t go as planned. Just pray for us as we go through this stuff.”

Thomas told police that he left the home he shares with Nina in the afternoon before the incident after an argument about him drinking too much alcohol. He said he called his brother to pick him up and the two went to the downtown rental home to watch TV with two women — including one who Thomas told police he had been seeing for three or four months while he worked on his relationship with Nina.

Earl Thomas, according to his wife’s affidavit, was awoken in bed with the other woman at around 1 a.m. when Nina entered the room and pointed a black pistol at him. Nina largely corroborated the events, telling police she put the gun to her husband’s head to scare him. Police say Nina told them she removed the magazine thinking the gun could not fire but was unaware that the gun had a round in the chamber. Nina, according to police, admitted to disengaging the gun’s safety.

Nina told police, they say, that she tracked her husband’s whereabouts to the rental home through his Snapchat account, which showed several videos of Earl with the other woman. Two women who Nina brought to confront her husband were also taken into custody: her sister, Kayla Baham-Heisser, and her friend Camisha Garlow, the ex-spouse of Earl Thomas’ brother, Seth, who was with the football player at the rental home.

Baham-Heisser took footage of the incident with her phone that police reviewed. The video, according to police, shows Earl Thomas at the top of a staircase with Nina placing the gun within a foot of his head with her finger on the trigger. Nina struck Earl in the nose before the video ended, police said. The video also showed Garlow attempting to attack a woman who was in the home with Seth Thomas.

Thomas, a safety, is a seven-time Pro Bowl selection and considered one of the top defensive players in the NFL. He won a Super Bowl in the 2013 season with the Seattle Seahawks, who drafted him in the first round out of the University of Texas in 2010.
