The woman says she and Ball were an item on June 28, 2014, when they got into a fight that reignited after she found him hanging out at the bar in a Double Tree hotel in Madison, Wisconsin.
After they argued in the Double Tree's lobby, the woman told police, she met with Ball in his room. She maintains that he was drunk.
Before long, the spat started up again in response to a text to Ball from a female acquaintance that read, "You should come over." During it, the woman says Ball threw his cell phone at her, striking her under her left eye, then picked up the device and hurled it in her direction again; this time, he missed.
But that didn't mean the violence was over, the woman says.
She asserts that Ball put a hand or hands on her throat, lifted her off the floor and pushed her against a wall, causing her to lose consciousness.
The next thing she knew, Ball was physically tossing her out of the room, the woman allows.
Additionally, the woman told police about another incident eight days earlier, when Ball allegedly grabbed her by the neck and pushed her down on a bed.
Authorities responded by filing new charges against Ball yesterday: felony strangulation and suffocation, plus misdemeanor domestic disorderly conduct.
A Ball spokesman denied the latest charges to the paper while casting aspersion on his accuser, saying, "This criminal complaint against Mr. Ball contains only allegations of a single individual who may have her own motivations for making such an accusation against a prominent athlete. They consist of selective allegations, two years after the fact, made by one side in this dispute.”
