Overview

  • Ward was taken into custody on August 7 in Montgomery County after jail records showed he breached his $30,000 bond by testing positive for alcohol.
  • Attorney Steve Jackson said Ward misunderstood the zero-tolerance alcohol restriction and emphasized there are no new allegations of violence or contact with the complainant.
  • His original June 12 arrest in Magnolia, Texas, led to a third-degree felony family violence charge and an emergency protective order.
  • Ward is scheduled to appear in court on August 13 and his case will be presented to a grand jury on August 31 amid an NFL investigation under the league’s personal conduct policy.
  • The Houston Texans have kept Ward on their physically unable to perform list as he rehabs a foot injury and continue to monitor the legal proceedings.
