Affidavit Details Allegations in Patrick Beverley Felony Case as Lawyer Disputes Account

The affidavit’s release is fueling coverage, with Beverley’s attorney urging the public not to rush to judgment.

Overview

  • Deputies arrested Beverley on Nov. 14 at his family’s Fort Bend County, Texas home and booked him on a third-degree felony charge for assault of a family member by impeding breath; he posted a $40,000 bond and was released the same day.
  • The probable-cause affidavit alleges he grabbed his 15-year-old sister by the neck with both hands, lifted and choked her for 20–30 seconds, slammed her into walls, and punched her in the left eye while making a threatening statement.
  • Responding officers documented markings on the girl’s neck and petechiae in the whites of her eyes, observations the report notes are consistent with strangulation.
  • The incident, described as unfolding after the teen returned from meeting her 18-year-old boyfriend, followed a call from their mother that brought Beverley to the home.
  • Beverley denies the account, and attorney Letitia Quinones-Hollins calls the affidavit incomplete and emotion-driven; the case remains under investigation with a Dec. 15 court appearance scheduled and a potential penalty of two to ten years in prison if convicted.
