Houston Texans safety Jimmie Ward is facing a felony charge of assault involving family violence following an incident at his Magnolia, Texas home early Thursday morning.
According to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a call at Ward’s residence around 5:30 a.m. Upon arrival, they met with a woman who alleged that Ward had assaulted, choked, and threatened her. Her identity has not been publicly released.
Ward was arrested at the scene and booked into the Montgomery County Jail. He was later released on Thursday afternoon after posting a $30,000 bond. Authorities also confirmed that an emergency protective order was filed on behalf of the complainant.
