Placer County sheriff's officials made the announcement Monday and are planning a press conference for later that afternoon to discuss the incident, which was reported in a 911 call at 9:23 a.m.
Deputies responding to Artest's home found a woman who had made the emergency call and arrested Artest after speaking to both him and the woman separately.
Artest was arrested on a charge of domestic violence and of using force or violence to prevent his victim from reporting a crime. Bail was set at $50,000.
Dena Erwin, a spokeswoman for the Placer County Sheriff's Department, said the woman "had injuries but she declined medical attention."
Kings spokesman Troy Hanson told the newspaper, "We are aware of the situation and are in the process of gathering information."
