In addition to the one in July to deal with his domestic assault charge, he also has one set for November in Milwaukee. This one deals with a civil lawsuit that alleges Villanueva was responsible for an "unprovoked attack inside a Milwaukee nightclub in February 2008."</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Villanueva has a pre-trial conference scheduled for Nov. 5 in the Milwaukee County Courthouse in Wisconsin in regards to a separate assault charge.<br><br>Daniel Fischer of Menomonee Falls, Wis., filed a civil lawsuit against Villanueva on Jan. 20 accusing Villanueva of assault, according to records on file on the <a href="http://wcca.wicourts.gov/caseDetails.do;jsessionid=BC15041035223AD84006A24EF8072E70.render6?caseNo=2010CV000783&countyNo=40&cacheId=A7564F2A8B47A0B79E6A91987A04E82B&recordCount=3&offset=0#party_1">Wisconsin Court System Web site</a>.</p>

His <a href="http://detroit.sbnation.com/2010/6/23/1532450/charlie-villanueva-twitter-domestic-assault-charge">Tweet from earlier today</a> about how you shouldn't always believe what you hear or read seems to be along the same lines.</p>

<p>Charlie Villanueva has yet to directly comment on his domestic assault charge, but he did <a href="http://twitter.com/CV31">post a couple things on Twitter</a> that likely are related to the news.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span class="status-body"><span class="status-content"><span class="entry-content">"Dont alway believe what you hear, or what you read"</span></span></span></p>

<blockquote>
<p><span class="status-body"><span class="status-content"><span class="entry-content">My day wont be ruin, going to the gym, have to stay focus, I'm on a mission</span></span></span></p>

<p>Villanueva is due in court on July 9.</p>

<p><span>Charlie Villanueva</span> of the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/DET">Detroit Pistons</a> has been <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/basketball/nba/wires/06/22/2030.ap.bkn.pistons.villanueva.charged.0226/">charged with domestic assault</a> as a result of what allegedly happened during a May 19 incident in Burlington, Ontario.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The 25-year-old Villanueva was released by Halton Regional Police on a promise to appear in court on July 9. The name of complainant and other details about the incident weren't available Tuesday.</p>
<p>His lawyer, Owen Wigderson, says Villanueva, "denies all allegations of wrongdoing and I'm very confident that he'll be exonerated.''</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Villanueva averaged 11.9 points and 4.7 rebounds per game for the Pistons last season. His 2009-10 campaign is probably best remembered for when <a href="http://www.detroitbadboys.com/2010/4/5/1406585/now-charlie-villanueva-is-taking">he took out his frustrations on Twitter</a>, however, bringing a lot of unnecessary attention on himself at the end of the season.</p>
