NY Post
Houston Texans safety Jimmie Ward was arrested Thursday morning on a felony assault family violence charge after an episode at his Texas home, according to the Houston Chronicle.
The 33-year-old allegedly choked an individual at his home in Magnolia, the Montgomery County (Texas) jail told the paper, and he was arrested at 5:38 a.m. per the arrest report.
He reportedly is being held without bond.
The Texans said in a statement they are aware of the report.
“We are gathering more information and have no further comment at this time,” the team told the Houston Chronicle via senior director of communications Omar Majzoub.
Ward began his career with 49ers after being selected with the No. 30 pick out of Northern Illinois in 2014.
