(AP Photo/FILE)ATLANTA, Ga. - Former
WNBA star and Olympic gold medalist Chamique Holdsclaw is in custody after
being accused of shooting into a woman's car after using a bat to break its
windows.
Holdsclaw
played for the University of Tennessee from 1995 to 1999 and helped lead the
Lady Vols to three consecutive NCAA women's basketball championships. She was
also part of the team that went 39-0 in 1998.
Atlanta
police said Thursday that Holdsclaw followed the woman, Jennifer Lacy, to her
car on Tuesday afternoon. WNBA spokesman Ron Howard says the 29-year-old Lacy
plays for the Tulsa Shock.
No
one was injured. Lacy identified the 35-year-old Holdsclaw as an ex-girlfriend
and both played for the Atlanta Dream in 2009.
According
to Atlanta CBS affiliate WGCL, Lacy told police once she arrived to meet
a friend and got out of her SUV, Holdsclaw got out of her vehicle with a
baseball bat and beat out the windows of Lacy's SUV.
Lacy also said Holdsclaw shot a
gun inside the door of her car.
She
was in custody Thursday night in Fulton County Jail. Her bond was set at
$10,000 on one charge each of aggravated assault, second-degree criminal damage
and reckless conduct.
A
number for Holdsclaw listed in the police report went to voicemail and it was
unknown whether she had an attorney.
