<p id=”par-1_70″>Zaire Wade’s basketball career didn’t pan out the way he thought it would, and now his personal life is getting complicated, too. The eldest son of NBA Hall of Famer <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/what-happened-to-dwyane-wades-first-marriage-to-siohvaughn-funches-wade.html/”>Dwyane Wade</a> has found himself entangled in a very complicated legal battle stemming from a domestic violence arrest in June. There have been a lot of developments, so let’s take a look at everything that has gone on so far.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-june-21-the-arrest”>June 21: The Arrest</h2>
<p id=”par-2_65″>In the early morning hours of June 21, Burbank police responded to a 911 call that reported a woman screaming. The caller also reported stomping. It is unclear who made the call. Still, officers responded around 5:30 a.m. and found Zaire Wade with a woman who had cuts to her face and body. She opted not to receive medical attention, according to <a href=”https://www.nbclosangeles.com/investigations/zaire-wade-arrest-burbank/3909885/”>NBC4 Los Angeles.</a></p>

<p id=”par-3_54″>Wade was arrested that morning on suspicion of felony domestic violence, criminal threats, and false imprisonment with violence, fraud or deceit. Things escalated quickly from there. An emergency protective order was issued against him. Wade posted a $50,000 bond and was released later that same day. The victim’s identity has not been made public.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-july-9-formal-felony-charge-filed-against-zaire-wade”>July 9: Formal Felony Charge Filed Against Zaire Wade</h2>
<p id=”par-4_55″>While <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/gabrielle-union-shared-didnt-want-kids-became-stepmom.html/”>Zaire Wade</a> was arrested on suspicion of several charges, official charges were not filed until July 9, about three weeks after the arrest. Los Angeles County prosecutors formally charged the former G League player with one felony count of inflicting corporal injury on a cohabitant, fiancé, boyfriend, girlfriend, or the parent of his child.</p>
<p id=”par-5_60″>In the official criminal complaint, obtained by <a href=”https://people.com/dwyane-wade-s-son-zaire-charged-with-felony-3-weeks-after-domestic-violence-arrest-12015867″>People</a>, prosecutors allege Wade “willfully inflicted corporal injury resulting in a traumatic condition.” While initially, it appeared three charges would be filed, prosecutors have opted only to move forward with one felony count, though additional charges could follow after a shocking courtroom twist. The victim is described as Zaire’s “partner” in courtroom filings.</p>

<p id=”par-6_39″>Most of the time, arraignments are fairly straightforward procedures. Zaire Wade’s arraignment offered a surprising twist. Things started out pretty typical, with Zaire appearing in a Pasadena courtroom for his arraignment. He pleaded not guilty to the felony charge.</p>

<p id=”par-7_71″>That isn’t where it ended, though. During the hearing, prosecutors revealed new information. According to a reporter present in the courtroom, authorities said they had conviscated an unregistered firearm from Wade’s home following his arrest. It is unclear how the firearm is involved in his current court battle. It is unclear if additional charges will be filed in connection with the discovery. Firearms were not mentioned during his initial arrest.</p>
