Green Bay Packers Star Erik Walden Arrested For Domestic Battery
Posted on Nov 26, 2011 @ 07:27AM
Erik Walden, a star linebacker with the Green Bay Packers, was arrested Friday morning for allegedly assaulting his live-in girlfriend. She required medical treatment as a result.
The couple share an apartment in Lawrence, Wisconsin. The girlfriend called the cops to report the alleged attack at 6:10 am, Hobart-Lawrence Police Chief Randy Bani told The Green Bay Press Gazette.
She'd already been to the hospital for treatment of a cut and bump on her head and an injured hand before she notified the police, Bani added. Walden was booked at 8 am.

Because of the holiday, the Brown County Circuit Court is closed until Monday which means Walden will remain in jail on suspicion of felony domestic violence-substantial battery until at least then.
The Packers issued a statement saying the organization is aware of Walden's arrest but declined to comment pending further developments.

domestic violence is horrible, by why do you people put the ax down on the guy before the case is heard. who knows what happened with the two of them before she got the scratch and bump..2 wrongs dont make a right. let the court decide.

domestic violence is horrible, but why dont all of you wait until the accused has a chance to deal with his case in court, and see is he is convicted....you people are all so ready to bring down the ax. see what came down, and what she did too.

And as a die hard Packers fan, I don't want to place judgement until we know what actually happened. But if he did however cause bodily harm to her, than he has no place on the respectable Green Bay Packers.

As a Packers fan...and a woman...this man needs to be removed from the team ASAP. "Star Linebacker?" Nope.
