BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The son of NBA great Larry Bird has been arrested after police say he tried to run over his ex-girlfriend with a car.
Conner Anthony Bird, 21, faces preliminary charges including intimidation with a deadly weapon, battery with injury and possession of marijuana.
Indiana University police arrested Bird on Sunday morning. They say his ex-girlfriend told an officer that Bird threw a cell phone at her and drove his car at her during an argument. A police report says university police arrested Bird after tracking down his vehicle.
Bird is a student at IU’s Bloomington campus. A Monroe County jail officer said yesterday Bird was no longer in custody.
Bird’s attorney didn’t return a phone call seeking comment.
