'It sounds like he have may more than just a small problem ... Anybuddy listen to him? Know if he's got (had!) a license?

I am not a regular listener, but I have heard that he does have his CHL and has stated that folks should carry. Will be an interesting case to follow.

I find him to be irritating and I don't listen to his show. I liked Puggs & Kelly but they've been fired for lack of ratings. That figures, the jerk wins...

I did a quick search on his attorney, Tim Powers, as I thought I recognized that name. He's evidently a guest sometimes on Russ' show and gets regular "face time" on Fox 4 morning show.

I did some searching on this. The rumor mill is stating it was an assault on his girlfriend at a retail store, but you know how the gossip line can be. Will have to wait and see as more info comes out on the case. He does supposedly have his CHL, so if he was armed, the charge could be bumped up.

HAW HAW HAW!

glad those two hacks are gone.....

anyway, I listen to Russ every single day, when I get off work. He is a vary intelligent person who knows how to get a show good ratings (read: that's why he comes across as a jerk). Anyway, I srsly could not see him aggravated assaulting his girlfriend with a deadly weapon and causing bodily injury. insanity.
thing is, dude knows ALL the cops. everywhere. I dunno. this is strange.

More info out now states it was an assault on a female at his home. The female claims she was pushed, hit and threatened with his handgun. http://www.wfaa.com/sharedcontent/dws/w ... d00f5.html

Hades hath no fury like a woman scorned.

ya know I listen to him and I like what he does for the the police and fire but I just can't get my head around why some people have to beat women. I might be old fasihoned or something but I would have to be in grave fear of my life before I would even think to him a woman.

Southlake Police Say Russ Martin Threaten Fiancé With A Gun

Martin grabbed his 27-year-old fiancé "by the hair and threw her around a room in the house," according to the affidavit It also says Martin pulled out "chunks of hair" from his fiancé's head.

He then kicked her full force in the thigh leaving a bruise on the woman's thigh, it says. The affidavit says Martin then pulled out a pistol from behind his back and "intimidated" the woman with the gun.

It does not say that Martin pointed the gun at the woman.

Wrong.... It hath no fury like the lawyer of a woman scorned.

One more story. Looks like it was enough for him to lose his CHL. Serves him right. Wonder if people are going to think all CHL holders are loco.

debdennis@dallasnews.com An emergency protective order prohibits local radio personality Russ Martin from approaching the woman he’s accused of assaulting and threatening with a pistol last week at his Southlake home.
Southlake Judge Carol Montgomery, who issued the 61-day order Friday, also suspended Mr. Martin’s concealed handgun license

I notice he "cocked the hammer" on his Glock.

If she actually has the incident on tape, that should settle it one way or the other.

once again, just because they print it, don't make it gospel.

but, if we're going off of just what the newspaper says, I'm rather disappointed. He's a bit of a drinker, so I could see that being a factor. odd though that the fuzz waited almost an entire work-week to arrest him.

and then there are the cases where "she" cries abuse and he's standing there red-faced and flustered. Guy I work with had to go through some serious trouble because of a "he hit meh" ploy. dude never layed one finger on her, didn't have a good lawyer, and ended up almost losing his license (job) because of the whole deal.

so, I am reserving judgment until "all the facts come out," at which time, well, we'll see...

ETA he does have webcams all over that place, just might actually be on tape!

I was going off what is in the affidavit.

Some how I dont think we will get those. I would assume that he would have erased them if the affidavit is true. But as you said we will just have to see.

I want to learn to do that! It will make my pulls smoother!
