- Share via
BELLEVUE, Wash. — Seattle SuperSonics star guard Dale Ellis was fined $346 after being found guilty of assaulting his wife and resisting arrest during a January incident at his home.
Ellis, who had been scheduled to appear in Bellevue District Court today, was ordered to see a private counselor and fined at the non-jury trial Friday before Judge Brian Gain. If Ellis does not commit another crime for a year, the convictions will be stricken from his record, Gain said.
Lawyer Steve Hayne, who represented Ellis, said Ellis and his wife remain together and have purchased a new home in Bellevue.
