Former NBA player Greg Oden reaches plea deal on battery charge

Greg Oden, who was accused last summer of punching his former girlfriend in the face, has reached a plea agreement with Marion County prosecutors, according to court documents.

The former Lawrence North High School basketball star and Portland Trail Blazers No. 1 overall NBA draft pick was arrested in August after police said an altercation took place in his mother's Lawrence home between Oden and his 24-year-old former girlfriend.

Oden was subsequently charged with two felony battery counts and two misdemeanor battery counts. In December 2014, court documents state Oden pleaded guilty to battery with moderate bodily injury, a felony, while the other three charges were dismissed.
