CHARLOTTE, N.C – Former Hornets player James Bouknight has been sentenced to one year months of unsupervised probation following an alleged DWI.
Bouknight was arrested in October 2022 after the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department found him unconscious in a parking area blocking traffic on East Brooklyn Village Avenue. An officer said the car was running and in drive, and Bouknight was holding a Glock handgun.
In addition to unsupervised probation for 12 months, Bouknight was sentenced to 24 hours of community service within 90 days, but that could be waived if he provides proof of inpatient treatment for substance abuse, according to court records. Bouknight will also have to surrender his driver’s license while on probation.
After his sentence, Bouknight filed a notice of appeal on Monday. His next hearing in that appeal is tentatively set for May 13.
