Local police in Cranston, Rhode Island, were called to a location at Plainfield Pike after 1 a.m. overnight on Saturday into Sunday morning. <\/p>\n
There, a woman informed local police that an ex-boyfriend of her friend was outside her residence with a gun, and the person was later identified as Powell. <\/p>\n
Powell\u2019s ex-girlfriend claimed to police that the Providence forward had struck her earlier in the day, and she showed one of the officers that the hit resulted in a large bruise on her leg.<\/p>\n

Additionally, she alleged that there was a tracker at the bottom of her car, while telling officers that Powell had been trying to stalk her and find her location on multiple occasions. <\/p>\n
A witness at the house alleged Powell came to the location earlier and threatened to kill everyone in the house, followed by himself.<\/p>\n
Powell reportedly stayed at the front door of the house for approximately four minutes before leaving the area.<\/p>\n
A police report indicated that Powell continually called his ex-girlfriend as police were having a conversation with her.<\/p>\n
One of the officers answered her phone to speak with Powell, and the cop reportedly heard him walking, where he then turned to see the forward heading toward him with a hand in his sweatshirt. <\/p>\n
Powell was subsequently arrested at gunpoint.<\/p>\n

At the time of his arrest, he was not carrying a weapon on him, according to a report from NBC 10, though Powell\u2019s car was parked around the block from the apartment where his ex-girlfriend was located.<\/p>\n
Powell, who played 16.8 minutes per game this season, shot a woeful 36.4 percent from the field and averaged just 4.6 points and 3.0 rebounds per contest.<\/p>\n
Powell, who played at North Carolina A&T, Sacramento State, and Georgia Tech in his prior four seasons of college basketball before transferring to Providence, had the team\u2019s worst true shooting percentage at just under 50 percent.<\/p>\n
He was also suspended by the Big East <\/a>for three games after \u201ccombative actions,\u201d which occurred on former Friars star Bryce Hopkins during a game against St. John\u2019s in February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Providence College basketball standout was arrested Sunday morning overnight and charged with domestic violence and disorderly conduct.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":686990,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3724],"tags":[7,217,11970,66],"class_list":{"0":"post-686989","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-basketball","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-college-basketball","10":"tag-providence-friars","11":"tag-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/686989","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=686989"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/686989\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/686990"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=686989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=686989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=686989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
