Mashona Washingon arrested in California

Mashona Washington, who--with partner Bethanie Mattek--lost in doubles today in Indian Wells, was arrested Monday on suspicion of felony vandalism in Riverside County, California. The charge involves damage estimated at $5,000 or more. Washington was arrested at the Hyatt Grand Champions Resort in Indian Wells, and will be arraigned in May.

I do not have any more details about the alleged crime, but will report more on this when the details are revealed.
