KEYSHIA COLE & DANIEL GIBSON

Daniel Gibson is facing a second-degree battery charge following an incident earlier this month in New Orleans at a music festival, according to New Orleans television station WDSU. Gibson turned himself in early this morning and has already been released, according to New Orleans police records.
The Cavs are aware of the incident, but are continuing to gather information and have no comment. Gibson is a free agent and wasn't expected to return, even before the incident, after spending his first seven years here.

WDSU reported the incident occurred at Essence Festival, adding that Louisiana state law defines second-degree battery as an assault in which the offender "intentionally inflicts serious bodily injury" on another person.

The Beacon Journal requested a copy of the arrest report, but one has not been released yet.
