Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason has sought a domestic violence restraining order against his former girlfriend, Marilyn Maritza Melo Rodriguez, alleging physical assault, threats to kill him and significant damage to his belongings. The case matters because it involves serious allegations of domestic abuse and will be considered through the legal process.

According to court documents reportedly obtained by TMZ, Eason says Rodriguez ruined about $92,000 worth of his clothing with bleach. The article identifies Rodriguez as 32 and says Eason drove her home after an unspecified event, though the supplied text ends before further details are given.
