Kirk Snyder arrested for aggravated burglary and felonious assault

It is sad. He had the talent to be still in the NBA. He just left the Chinese league after finishing as the leading scorer in the regular season there. Don't know what led to this.

Ex-UNR star Kirk Snyder arrested in Ohio

Monday, March 30, 2009

Warren County sheriff's deputies said they arrested the former NBA player Monday morning at his home in Deerfield Township northeast of Canton, Ohio.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reported that a woman who lived near Snyder called police when she heard glass breaking downstairs at her house.

She told deputies that when she went to investigate, a tall man pushed her aside and ran to an upstairs bedroom where he allegedly began to assault the woman's sleeping husband. She says she was able to pull the hood from covering his head and he then fled out the back door.

Deputies say their investigation and a canine led deputies to Snyder’s nearby residence where he was taken into custody within minutes of the offense.

Snyder, 25, led the Nevada Wolf Pack to the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 in 2004. He was the 16th player taken in the 2004 NBA draft and played for several NBA teams before spending the past season in a pro league in China.

Snyder was being held in the Warren County jail pending his arraignment Tuesday in Mason Municipal Court. The case remains under investigation.
