Texans S Jimmie Ward arrested after alleged bond violation
August 8 - Houston Texans safety Jimmie Ward was arrested on Thursday for allegedly violating the terms of a previous legal order. He was to spend the night in Montgomery County (Texas) Jail before being released on Friday, his lawyer, Steve Jackson, told KPRC 2 in Houston. Ward, 34, was arrested on June 12 at his home in Magnolia, Texas, and held on a third-degree charge of felony domestic violence. Per KPRC 2, the case involved the mother of Ward's child, who sought and received a protective order after alleging that she was assaulted, strangled and threatened by Ward. He was released on a $30,000 bond at the time. Jackson told KPRC 2 on Thursday, "It's a condition of bond, and there are certain conditions like you can't drink. Jimmie believed it was for not getting intoxicated, like he could have a drink. There was no contact with the complainant. The court has a zero tolerance policy for drinking while on bond, unbeknownst to him. "The judge issued a sanction, so he will spend the night in jail overnight. This has nothing to do with the complaining witness at all. There are no new allegations against Jimmie. The judge wants to treat him fairly, like anyone else." The Texans did not comment on the latest arrest, according to ESPN and KPRC 2. The original case is headed to a grand jury on Aug. 31, Jackson told KPRC 2. With the case pending and with Ward nursing a foot injury, he hadn't taken part in training camp this summer. The NFL reportedly is investigating Ward and could issue a punishment. Ward recorded 48 tackles and two interceptions -- one returned for a touchdown -- in 10 games (all starts) last season. He has totaled 549 tackles, 10 interceptions -- three returned for a touchdown -- in 126 career games (99 starts) with the San Francisco 49ers (2014-22) and Texans. --Field Level Media
