Really, Dante Cunningham...??? Really...???

Three days after being arrested in suburban Minneapolis for an alleged assault on his girlfriend, Minnesota Timberwolves forward Dante Cunningham (pictured right, thanks Hennepin County Sheriff's Department) turned himself in shortly before noon for making "terroristic" threats in text messages to the same woman-
violating a "no contact" order from the first arrest.

All this happened after 3AM this morning...

And what does the HQ say about things happening after 1AM...???

Cunningham turned his cell phone and computers over to police. Medina, Minnesota police released a statement:

"When the officer arrived and reviewed the messages, they were direct and rose to a terroristic level," the police statement read.

Cunningham is set to appear in court later Monday afternoon. He remained in custody following this arrest, but has not been officially charged.

Here's the original story from the initial assault charges last week:

The Timberwolves, again, released another statement:

"The situation with Dante Cunningham is very fluid, and we continue to monitor all available information. We reiterate that the Minnesota Timberwolves do not condone the behavior described in the accusations. We continue to wait for the legal process to run its course and will have further comment when appropriate."

T-Wolves Cunningham Arrested On Domestic Assault Charges

((HT: MyFoxTwinCities))

2nd year Minnesota Timberwolves forward Dante Cunningham was charged with assault after being accused of choking his girlfriend during an argument Thursday night.

The criminal complaint, filed in suburban Minneapolis, says Cunningham's girlfriend told police they got into an argument, Cunningham kicked down a locked bedroom door, grabbed her around the neck and slammed her against the wall, choking her to the point where she couldn't breathe.

Cunningham's girlfriend did not require medical treatment when police arrived.

Cunningham was charged with a felony count of domestic assault by strangulation with bail set at $40,000.

Here's the morning update

He is still in jail and didn't join the team for their weekend road trip in Florida.

The team issued a standard statement:

"We are aware of the matter involving Dante Cunningham and are in the process of gathering more information. Dante will not be traveling with the team to Miami this afternoon. The Minnesota Timberwolves organization takes the matter very seriously and does not condone the type of behavior that is associated with this situation. However, we need to let the legal process run its course, and will have further comment at the appropriate time."

Cunningham will be an unrestricted free agent after this season.
The team exercised their $2.1-million option after last season.
