Beard arrested?

Perry said the complainant says he should never have been arrested and wants to charges dropped.
I wish we could see this reported by another source

Given the charges, perhaps not the best gif to express your frustration (which I totally share).

Point well taken. How about this, then.

You still only know her side of the story. For all we know, she could have been whaling on him and he had finally had enough. Sadly, we live in a world where women have been so insulated from any negative consequences of their actions, some of them think they can do anything to a man and he is just supposed to take it. Mostly, they are right, but we need to wait and see and get the whole story. I find it very hard to believe CB just jumped up and choked her with no provocation.

In a past life I was living with a woman. She went out of town to visit her family one weekend and I ended up spending some time with an old college buddy (my first roommate ever) who happened to show up in town. I'd not seen him in 40 years. We got together and he wanted to go to Twin Peaks. I wasn't that thrilled about the selection because I'm not really the type to want to flirt with girls in their 20's anymore. I also knew my girlfriend was the jealous type. I thought about it and decided to go with him. We had a regular old time with one famous anecdote. As they do, one of the young ladies joined us at our table. She was texting away with someone and acting a bit annoyed. So we asked what was up. She said some guy wanted her to come down to Kyle (we were in South Austin just off of 35). She said she didn't want to go and he had said something like, "It's only for an hour." I told her to text this:

"I'm not an hour; I'm a lifetime."

She loved it. And promptly sent him the text. Not sure how it all turned out but that's part of the story.

Anyway, we leave and I go home. By this time my girlfriend is close to town and we talked on the phone. She asked me what I'd been doing. So I told her. I didn't want to not go because of her and I didn't want to lie about it. I didn't tell her the anecdote.

Anyway, she shows up a few minutes later as she was almost there when we talked and I could tell she was miffed. She grabbed a beer and a jager bomb (we had the fixin's as she liked them and so did I). About 30 minutes later I was in the bedroom and heard a loud popping sound coming from the living room. I ran out and she had taken her jager glass (which she had refilled with a second round) and thrown it at the wall. It turns out that she was an alcoholic and had been drinking on the way back to town. She totally snapped. So I quickly sized up the situation and realized she had another glass and was winding up to throw it at me; which she did. I ducked and it missed. Because she was volatile I always kept my phone, wallet and car keys on the bar close to the door (we were in an apartment). I had two choices, try to calm her down which might have involved grabbing her some way or get the hell out of there.

I got the hell out of there and ran down the stairs. I trotted around the side (it was at night) and hid in a grove of trees so I could think things through. She came out yelling my name. I stayed quiet. I was fully expecting my car was about to be keyed or my windows broken out. Luckily she didn't do anything. She kept yelling my name but as time passed I could tell she was just wanting me to come back. Her voice was showing signs of remorse. But I didn't go back. Finally, when she went back in I jumped in my car and drove out to where my friend was staying (at an RV park as he had ridden into town in a camper). She was lighting up my phone but I didn't answer. I spent the night at his place. He is a male nurse and studied psychology in college. He said, "You know, domestic violence gets worse each subsequent time." I said, "I know. I have to figure this out."

Later I took her call. She was completely repentant. Crying, saying, "I could lose you." So I went over in the morning, as she had called in sick and I told my boss (very cool person) that I had a domestic tranquility issue that I needed to sort out.

To end the story, we hung in there a few more months but she lost me that day. But what I did was to remove myself from the situation. Call me chicken or whatever. But grab a woman by the arms to control her and you've handed her evidence in the form of bruises. Just get out of there.

So APD already has released conflicting stories. Originally is was a “hotshot” call which means it’s ongoing. This report says the female called after leaving the scene 4 hours before he was arrested.

Why the hell can't people take an extra minute and proofread their tweets or posts? Or edit it once you see you made a mistake? "Chocked"? And you want us to take you seriously? Somehow people think that, on social media, correct spelling and punctuation are not important. I disagree.

Yep, I was looking for a pic of an aircraft chocked but you beat me to it here.

Oops, can I say "beat me" here?

If she had left and waited 4 hours to call police can they really arrest someone just because someone else said so?
And then Perry said the complainant said arrest was a mistake.
So she waited 4 hrs but still called police? And Then decided it was a mistake

Phil E was right. We need to wait to get facts
 
There is enough ambiguity here that I'm unwilling to make a judgment yet. Sometimes people are drugged, drunk, crazy and initial police reports bear little resemblance to the reality. I've see someone jailed on false accusations while the family of the allegedly abused spouse (lying *****) took everything of value from the home.

Well now, if it turns out the complainant was chocked instead of choked, I think Beard will be released with all charges dropped.
(sorry but I just couldn’t resist)

The magistrate said a protective order was entered. That's not a good sign, although it might have been issued at the request of the DA's office and not the alleged victim. There will be affidavits filed supporting those requests which will have a lot more details. Judging by the exit scene from the Courthouse, the media is already ready to convict Beard:


Knowing how UT is about these things, I think its probably a good bet Beard won't survive this. What a really sad thing to happen - not only for everyone involved, but also for all of us fans who really support these programs. I think bystander above said it best: Sometimes, you just have to "remove yourself from the situation" and "just get out of there".
 
The EPO is really not a good sign. A magistrate "can", issue one in this type of charge, but doesn't have to. If they did, there must have been some grounds for concern.
 
There are so many unknowns here, primarily who is the female, wife, daughter, escort, massage therapist? Who knows, I suppose we'll find out in due time, but regardless it seems there was a physical altercation for which we really don't have many details at the moment. I'm just going to wait and trust that CDC will get this right.
 
It's even worse than we thought; the registration for the SUV was expired.

I have to laugh at these things...

If it happened, OBVIOUSLY, we all hope the victim is ok.
 
Sometimes I hate instant 24/7 coverage. This is the life of a man we all like and liked he is a coach at Texas. We have known him at a public level for over 20 years.
I wish we had not seen him in prison garb handcuffed.
Innocent until proven guilty doesn't he still deserve some dignity?
 
In order for the officer to make the arrest, I would there should have been some kind of physical evidence of an assault or property damage. Under the family violence law,if an officer sees any evidence of an assault he must arrest.

Baird could say the neck bruises were from consensual rough sex, prove me wrong.

If the complaining party wants the charges dropped, then drop the charges.

I can see an over aggressive APD/DA making this more than what happened.

Too early to know at this point. His job should not be in question at this time.
