"Houston Texans safety Jimmie Ward was removed from the NFL's commissioner exempt list Monday after a grand jury decided not to indict him last week. A Montgomery County (Texas) grand jury made that decision last Thursday, months after he was arrested on suspicion of third-degree felony domestic violence. The grand jury didn't find probable cause that Ward committed the alleged crimes against the woman involved in the incident."
"The woman alleged on the morning of the arrest that she was "violently assaulted multiple times, both sexually and physically" by Ward in the presence of their 3-year-old child. She eventually got away and ran out the house into the street then called the police. Ward was also arrested on Aug. 7 for violating his previous release conditions which included no drinking of alcohol, which he claimed he didn't know. He tested positive for alcohol, and he had to spend the night in jail."
Jimmie Ward was removed from the NFL's commissioner exempt list after a Montgomery County grand jury declined to indict him. The grand jury found no probable cause following his June 12 arrest on suspicion of third-degree felony domestic violence. Ward remains on the Houston Texans' physically unable to perform list and is not eligible to return until after Week 4. Ward was placed on the exempt list on Aug. 26. The alleged victim claimed she was violently assaulted multiple times, both sexually and physically, in the presence of their 3-year-old child and later filed a civil suit seeking more than $20 million. Ward was also arrested Aug. 7 for violating release conditions after testing positive for alcohol.
