• Beard, 49, was booked into the Travis County Jail at around 5:18 a.m. on a third degree felony charge of assault on a family/household member impeding breath circulation, according to inmate records from the Travis County Sheriff’s Office.
• The Austin Police spokesperson described it as a “hot shot” call, which means the incident is in progress and poses a threat to a person or property.
• The University of Texas told CBS News that they are "aware" of Beard's situation. "We are continuing to gather information and monitoring the legal process," the school said in a statement.
• Beard's attorney, Perry Minton, told the Austin American-Statesman at 10:30 a.m., "Coach Beard is 100% innocent of these charges. He should never have been arrested. The complainant wants him released immediately and all charges dismissed. It is truly inconceivable."

“The complainant wants him released immediately and all charges dismissed”—is the attorney for the accused really expecting the public to believe this fact exonerates his client? One would have to live under a rock to be unaware that this reaction (minimizing the abuse, trying to smooth things over, trying to shoulder the blame for the abuse) is all too common from victims of abuse? Give me a break.
