The good news is the cops didn’t kill him.
Bad news is when you get into a fight with cops they always throw a lot of charges on you.
New Orleans Pelicans center Jaxson Hayes — the #8 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft — was arrested after an alleged violent altercation with police, TMZ Sports has learned … and it apparently got so extreme, the hooper and a cop were taken to a hospital.
We’re told law enforcement were called to an LA area home for a domestic disturbance early Wednesday morning … and when cops attempted to check on the parties involved, 21-year-old Hayes tried like hell to keep them from entering the premises.
Hayes got tased, but still beat down the cop enough to send him to hospital.
Pelicans are aware of the situation.
He has been charged with felony battery on a police officer.
