NBA Star Ja Morant Investigated By Cops For Assault After Confrontation With H.S. Student

Ja Morant was investigated by cops for assault after allegedly clashing with a high school student back in September but the NBA star was never charged over the incident. Police report the interaction between the teenager and the Memphis Grizzlies point guard happened at Houston H.S. in Tennessee on Sept. 22 at around 7:10 PM. In the docs, police say at an after-school volleyball game, Morant's sister who attends Houston H.S. got into a verbal argument with another student. Witnesses on the scene, according to the docs, told officers both parties had called each other "bitch" prompting Ja's sister to contact Ja about it all. A short time later, cops say Ja, Ja's mom and dad, Ja's baby daughter and "a group of" adult males all came into the gym together. According to the documents, most of the group excluding Ja's father went to confront the student in the stands at the game who had been quarreling with Ja's sister. Which one of ya'll called her a bitch?" Jamie Morant, Ja's mother, allegedly said. Cops say in the docs they told Jamie she "can not come upstairs and confront the students and they did not need to make a scene at the school." But, officers say while they were talking, one of the men with Ja moved past police and walked toward students. According to the report, witnesses on the scene said the man slapped a phone out of a student's hand who had been attempting to take a picture of Ja in the stands and then said, "I don't care about none of that, I will beat y'alls ass. A witness later said that man "was about to pull a gun" though cops on the scene said in the documents they never observed a firearm during the incident. The next day, cops say the mother of the student who had been in the spat with Ja's sister wanted to press charges against all parties, including Ja, for intimidation and harassment. Cops say Jamie Morant also wanted to press charges against the student who had been in the tiff with her daughter for threats and intimidation. Cops investigated Ja for simple assault, intimidation no physical contact, but no charges were ever filed. The mother of the student and her son was also investigated, but did not end up being charged either.
