The arrest warrant issued Sunday for Washington Wizards guard Jerry Stackhouse for allegedly assaulting a female states that the woman accused him of "grabbing her around the neck and taking her to the ground."

A dispute between Stackhouse, 28, and Patricia Nagy, a 37-year-old real estate agent, over when he was supposed to vacate a rented beach house erupted into violence at the home, according to Nagy's statement to police.

Scott Kilpatrick, chief of the Atlantic Beach police department, said yesterday that two of his officers noticed "some redness on Nagy's neck" after responding to the beach home on Sunday. Kilpatrick had said on Monday that Nagy required no medical attention for her injury. Nagy has declined to comment.

"It was a really unfortunate situation," Stackhouse said tonight. "I was leasing this house and I thought I had one more day in it. A rental agent came in and said we had to leave immediately, that my whole family and I had to leave. She was holding a lease and I asked to see the lease she had in her hand because I never signed a lease.

"She said she wouldn't show it to me. I reached for it. She turned and prohibited me from reaching it and there was unintentional contact."

Wes Collins, the attorney representing Stackhouse, said "hopefully this can be amicably settled by all parties."
