Houston Texans Star Jimmie Ward Is Out Of Jail After Being Arrested For Assault

Houston Texans star Jimmie Ward got arrested for assault! Yes, crazy stuff. But the good news is that he’s out of jail now.

It’s always a shock when you hear about a professional athlete getting into trouble like that, but hey, nobody’s perfect.

Ward, 33, was arrested following an incident at his home in Magnolia, Texas, on Thursday morning, according to a news release from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.

The assault family violence charge is a third-degree felony, according to authorities.

“We are aware of the matter and have been in contact with the club,” an NFL spokesman told ABC News. “We have no further comment at this time.”

Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of an assault at a home in a subdivision in Magnolia shortly after 4:30 a.m., according to a news release from the sheriff’s office. The victim, Ward’s fiancee, alleged that Ward assaulted, strangled and threatened her, the sheriff’s office said. She filed for an emergency protective order.

As of Thursday afternoon, Ward had posted bail at $30,000, according to Montgomery County Jail records.

We hope he learns from this experience and moves on to be a better person on and off the field.
