Harnden was allegedly seen with Rodgers that night, and is now being held on $500K bail with a charge foror detaineding Rodgers against her will “for the purpose of killing her and/or inflicting bodily harm.”

Comanche spent two years playing for the Arizona Wildcats before going undrafted. He started five games for the Stockton Kings this season, averaging 13 points and eight rebounds per game. Comanche had a standout performance for the Kings on Dec. 12 just days before his arrest.
