FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – Former Miami Dolphin running back Mark Walton, who is accused of attacking his pregnant girlfriend in their Davie home, appeared before a judge Wednesday.
Charged with battery on a pregnant person, Walton’s bond was set at $10 thousand. He was also ordered to stay away from his girlfriend.
Tuesday morning, Walton pushed the woman, who is five weeks pregnant, up against a wall and “punched her several times in the face and head,” according to his arrest report.
Walton’s attorney Michael Gottlieb said he spoke to his client after his arrest.
“He did deny touching the young lady at any point in time,” said Gottlieb.
