Greg Oden was arrested early Thursday morning in Lawrence, IN after allegedly punching his ex-girlfriend in the face. The two reportedly dated for two years, but have been broken up for the past two months.
According to reports, officers arrived to Oden's mother's home to find the victim lying across a bed while holding her face and crying. While she wasn't being cooperative, the woman's best friend looked at her and said, "There isn't that much love in the world. You need to tell that he punched you in the face."
Upon investigating the scene, officers "observed blood, swelling to the nose, lacerations to the forehead and nose area of the victim's face." In addition, they "observed blood on the sofa and floor in the sitting area. (They) observed (blood) on the living room carpet (and) dirt from a flower pot that was knocked over."
Officers said that Oden was being apologetic and cooperative while being interviewed by police and was quoted as saying, "I was wrong, and I know what has to happen."
The famed balled is currently facing a preliminary charge of battery.
