Troubling details emerge from Texans DB Jimmie Ward’s arrest
Houston Texans defensive back Jimmie Ward was arrested early Thursday morning at his home in Texas, and some troubling new details about the alleged incident have surfaced.
Ward was arrested on charges related to assault and family violence after police responded to a call at his home in Magnolia at roughly 5:30 a.m. Thursday. He was booked at the Montgomery County Jail.
According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC, a woman told deputies that she had been assaulted, strangled and threatened by her fiancé, who was later identified as Ward. The 33-year-old Ward was booked on charges of assault family violence impeding breath/circulation, which is a third-degree felony in Texas.
The reported victim filed an emergency protective order against Ward.
The Texans said in a statement on Thursday that there are aware of Ward’s arrest and gathering more information.
“We are aware of the report involving Jimmie Ward. We are gathering more information and have no further comment at this time,” a team spokesperson said.
Ward has spent the last two seasons with the Texans after playing for the San Francisco 49ers for the first nine years of his career. The 33-year-old initially signed a two-year deal with Houston prior to the 2023 season and then got a 1-year, $10.25 million extension last summer.
