The 40-year-old was taken into custody just after 1 a.m. at the home in Brickell Key by Miami-Dade Police, who were called to the home after Stoudemire's ex-wife said she came to pick up the child after receiving a picture asking for help.

The victim said Stoudemire slapped her face and left side of her body, causing her to have a bloody nose. Stoudemire allegedly told his ex-wife to come get the child because she was"being disrespectful," later telling police she was also a"liar."Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters.The Florida native, who was born in Lake Wales and finished his high school career in Orlando, was the No. 9 overall pick in the 2002 NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns.
