Texans' Jimmie Ward arrested for second time since June

HOUSTON -- Texans safety Jimmie Ward was arrested Thursday evening for the second time in two months.

According to the Montgomery County (Texas) Jail website, Ward was arrested on a warrant for a felony offense. Bail has not been set.

The Texans declined to comment.

Ward was first arrested June 12 at his home in Magnolia, Texas, after a woman said he assaulted, strangled and threatened her. An emergency protective order was filed at the woman's request.

The NFL said at that time that it was aware of Ward's arrest and was in contact with the Texans.
