"Beard was booked into jail at 4:18 a.m. Monday, according to the Travis County sheriff's office jail records. Beard, 49, faces a third-degree felony charge of assault on a family/household member-impede breath circulation. "

Sounds like it was choking/strangulation.

Fire him Texas it is only the right thing to do

I bet they wish that they never fired Barnes

Texas normally doesn't choke until later in the season...

Liberty has probably already made him an offer

Can’t stand a woman beater

Can’t stand a woman beater

I agree but to be fair it doesn’t specify the gender he assaulted

 

[Jeff Clark]

He just committed career suicide

I had to check and make sure this wasn't the Texas coach with the stripper girlfriend and the monkey.

Because every now and then you have to spank the monkey. <rimshot>

Per Johnny Majors, nothing good happens after mid-night

I wouldn't be so quick on that. Some of what I have read says fiancée doesn't want to press charges. He's hired a top flight Austin attorney. I am sure fiancée will lie her ass off to save him. Just my guess.

Texas will do everything they can to Keep him as BBALL coach if possible.

I’ll lose respect for Texas if they don’t fire him on the spot

How much respect did you have for Texas prior to Beard's arrest?

I can't stand TX/uT but I say let's get the whole story before we condemn.

Ouch.

Way too many instances of the police screwing this stuff up. Women lying. And mandatory arrests for Domestic violence for me to jump the gun. Texas needs to let this play out more.

Below is a Google Maps pic of the home where the incident occurred. That pic is either old and Beard rebuilt on the property or he’s one tight ass dude for a millionaire coach. Chain link fence?

sadly, that is common with DV victims. I'd guess for charges to be filed so quickly, they have something. I'm far from a legal expert, but I don't think his fiance not wanting to press charges means he would be off the hook. I think criminal charges/prosecutions/etc are up to the DA.

I'm just curious about this. If he was choking her enough for this to be an "immediate dispatch" situation, how did she call the police?

His attorney lists her as the "complainant" (though I suppose that legal BS so he doesn't have to call her "victim") so it sounds like she called.

If someone else was there and called, there's more witnesses than just he said, she said. I certainly hope a young kid isn't going to get stuck in all this.

Seriously, if it was just the two of them and one's busy being choked out and the other is busy doing the choking...... who called the police?

all good questions, and you are right on about hoping one of his (or her) children didn't witness this. I grew up seeing some stuff like this at a young age. It's horrific to see as a child.

There's an entertaining discussion on Surly Horns and a video of some kind of hearing with Coach Beard. The sound sucked so I didn't bother but legal types here might find it productive.

She called after the fact per the police report. Whatever they saw of her or him resulted in a felony after the fact so I'm assuming this is similar to the McCullough situation with physical evidence there that bumped it to a felony.
