On Monday, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley reportedly pleaded guilty to threats of violence after an incident in September, where he allegedly pointed an assault rifle at a family near his home in Plymouth. The 24-year-old had initially faced a drug charge from the incident as well, however, that has been dismissed.

Malik Beasley charges: Timberwolves star pleads guilty to threats of violence
According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, Malik Beasley has pled guilty to a felony count of threats of violence for an incident that took place outside his home, on September 26. Reports claim that a couple and their 13-year-old daughter pulled up in their SUV and stopped along the road outside of Beasley’s home during a parade of homes tour. At the time, Beasley’s house had been roped off.
While the family sat in their car, the NBA star approached the vehicle and knocked on the window before demanding them to "get the f*** out of here". It is believed that Beasley pointed the gun at the car until it drove away. The Minnesota police claimed they searched Beasley's home and found a 12-gauge shotgun, a handgun and an automatic rifle that matched the description given by the couple in the SUV.
