GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Erik Walden was arrested Friday on suspicion of felony domestic violence/substantial battery and will remain in the Brown County Jail until at least Monday.
Walden allegedly assaulted his live-in girlfriend at the couple's apartment in Lawrence, just outside of Green Bay. Because of the Thanksgiving holiday, the Brown County Court is closed for the weekend, so while Walden's teammates have the next three days off following the team's 27-15 Thanksgiving Day victory at Detroit, Walden will remain in jail.
The Packers issued a statement Friday saying, ""The Packers organization is aware of the situation involving Erik Walden. We are in the process of gathering more information and will refrain from making any further comment."
Hobart-Lawrence police chief Randy Bani told the Green Bay Press-Gazette the incident took place about 2:30 a.m. and the woman involved called authorities about 6:10 a.m. The woman was treated at a local hospital, and Walden was arrested and booked around 8 a.m., Bani told the Press-Gazette.

That isn't good, but I'll hold judgement till there is a ruling by a court.

Ben won't be able to play until 2012 now

He doesn't play for the Steelers, so that means Goodell Castro will brush this incident off

Beat your girlfriend, get arrested, spend weekend in jail? Maybe he'll get a fine for it. Not to mention he plays for the Packers, the only undefeated team in the NFL.

However...be accused of something but never arrested or even charged? Six game suspension knocked down to four games.

Makes sense to me!
