Tulsa Shock forward Glory Johnson was arrested Wednesday evening along with her fiancee Brittney Griner according to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, per the Arizona Republic.

The sheriff's office says both Johnson and Griner were arrested on suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct complaints.
