SACRAMENTO, Sept. 9 (UPI) -- Los Angeles Laker Matt Barnes defended himself on Twitter Thursday, disputing the accuracy of reports of his arrest on felony domestic violence charges.
"Don't let your ears witness, what your eyes didn't see!!!" Barnes said in all-capital letters on the social networking and microblogging service.
He offered no further comment or explanation.
Sacramento sheriff's deputies said they arrested Barnes, 30, after responding to an incomplete emergency call and background scuffling sounds from the home Barnes shares with his fiancee, Gloria Govan, who is also the mother of the couple's twin boys.
Barnes and Govan both had visible injuries when police arrived, KTLA-TV, Los Angeles, reported.
Deputies arrested Barnes after determining he was the primary aggressor, the TV station said.
