    The girlfriend of Indiana Pacers forward Ron Artest was to appear in court today after her arrest on domestic battery charges.

    Kimisha Hatfield, 27, admitted striking Artest in the head with her hands on Sunday, said Maj. Dan Nickel of the Hamilton
    County Sheriff's Department.

    Nickel said Artest, 22, who called police, was waiting outside the Carmel home he is believed to share with Hatfield and the couple's two children when officers arrived.

    Hatfield is expected to appear in court later today for an initial hearing. Police said her bond likely will be set at $2,500.

    The incident comes after Artest was charged this summer with two counts of harassment, and one criminal contempt charge, for allegedly leaving another woman a threatening phone message.

    Jennifer Palma, 22, the mother of another of Artest's children, claimed the Pacers player left a phone message saying he would hurt Palma if she did not return his phone call.

    At the time of the alleged threat, Artest was already under order by a Queens, N.Y., judge not to bother Palma.

    Neither Artest's attorney, Raymond Heslin, nor representatives of the Indiana Pacers were immediately available for comment.

    Jeez, he's only 22 and he's already got three kids between two different woman? From all accounts, Artest is a pretty messed-up dude.

    Hehe, 3 kids at 22? How many kids does Shawn Kemp have? I think you can take Artest's situation and multiply it by 10 and then you get Kemp's dilemna.

    He reminds me a lot of a young pippen - can't shoot, constantly hacking and reaching in on D, butt ugly, clinically depressed, an overall headcase. Too bad he'll never get to play with Jordan.

    Artest has been trying to cultivate a reputation for being a good defender and a rough, enforcer-type player. Can he ever live down the shame of calling the police because he was being slapped around by a woman?

    You guys....using Shawn Kemp as a foil for your jokes. Shame.

    Besides, you beat me to it. :D

    I guess Artest's got a lot of nervous energy to expend. Three kids? Breaking Jordan's ribs?

    Ever seen this guy play? They usually have to put a belt between his teeth and hose him down to get him calm.

    What is it with basketball players that they can't seem to refrain from having litters of kids?

    5-1 that he has 5 kids by the time he is 26. Any takers??

    Ha Ha that was a just plain awful analogy, there will never ever be another Pippen in this league. Pippen did not hack, he reached, he guessed and he was right a good deal of the time. He put up 20 points a game for a while in his career, and when Mj left he was the all star game mvp. His defense was out of this world, he could shut any player down. But I will admit Jordan helped his development a bit by pushing him, and I'm pretty sure Pip pushed back in the practice in there many one on one games.

    Would you rather him hit her back and be in jail also. Who would watch the kids.:D

    Ron Artest. Tsk tsk tsk. You make enough money, dude. You could buy stock in The Trojan Prophylactic Company, enough stock so that you could get free samples, samples that you could carry in your wallet or glove compartment and maybe even use when needed. Sheesh.
