    Former WNBA star Chamique Holdsclaw was indicted on six counts by a Fulton (Ga.) County grand jury on Wednesday in relation to a November incident with her ex-girlfriend.

    Holdsclaw, 35, faces two counts of aggravated assault, one count of criminal damage in the first degree, two counts of criminal damage in the second degree and one count of possession of a firearm in commission of a felony.

    A warrant was issued for her arrest following a violent altercation on Nov. 13 with Jennifer Lacy, her ex-girlfriend. According to police, Holdsclaw fired a pistol into a vehicle while Lacy was in it.

    Holdsclaw turned herself in three days later and was released on $100,000 bond.

    Lacy, 29, gave Holdsclaw the keys to her vehicle while working out at an Atlanta church that day. When she left, she reported smelling gas in her vehicle. Holdsclaw followed Lacy to a friend's house, according to the incident report.

    Holdsclaw then smashed Lacy's 2010 Range Rover with a baseball bat, breaking two windows. According to the report, she stuck a pistol in the rear driver's side window and fired across the SUV.

    Lacy, who plays for the Tulsa Shock, was still in the vehicle when Holdsclaw fired the gun but was uninjured. Police recovered a spent 9 mm shell casing.
