Packers Walden Arrested For Battery And Will Spend The Weekend In Jail

PrintGreen Bay Packers LB Erik Walden was arrested Friday morning for assaulting his girlfriend. Luckily her injuries don't seem too serious, but she did go to the hospital. From the Press-Gazette:
The incident occurred about 2:30 a.m. at an apartment complex, 1981 Scheuring Road unit No. 6, Hobart-Lawrence police Chief Randy Bani said. The woman later called authorities about 6:10 a.m.
And he gets to spend the entire three day weekend in jail because the court is closed on Friday. I was expecting to write about him this week because he appeared to injure his leg during the Lions game, but he wasn't specifically mentioned by Mike McCarthy afterwards. Now we get talk about what a jerk he is, and who will replace him.
Each situation is certainly different, but the Vikings suspended CB Chris Cook indefinitely after he was arrested earlier this season. Something similar could happen to Walden.
As far as his play on the field goes, he'd been playing pretty good since the bye week. When he came out against the Lions, he was initially replaced by LB Brad Jones. Rookie LB Vic So'oto could be another possibility, but I expect LB Frank Zombo should be ready to return by their next game against the Giants.

I already told you! I deal with the god damn receivers so the linebackers don’t have to! I have coverage skills; I’m good at covering people! Can’t you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?!

Nice seeing you Walden
If the Pack doesn’t cut him, I don’t see how he isn’t suspended.
Didn't cut Jolly or Underwood
For their misdeeds. Why would the Packers automatically release Walden?
You've been Stroh'd™!!!
Neither are with the team right now
Underwood was cut, albeit not directly after his incident. And while we retain Jolly right’s, he is still suspended indefinitely from the NFL. I have a hard time believing that if Jolly were to get reinstated, that we would keep him on the roster.
That was my point.
Underwood wasn’t released from the incidents he had and Jolly is still on the Packers suspended list or whatever it is. As far as I know they haven’t ever really outright cut ties w/ Jolly, IIRC.
You've been Stroh'd™!!!
Considering Jolly has a six-year prison sentence
I don’t think we need to worry about him any time soon.

Like I said tho...
The Packers haven’t, as far as I know, totally cut ties either. Jolly deserves some prison or other punishment. No question about that. I think Walden will be suspended, hopefully by the Packers, but I also don’t think they’ll necessarily cut ties w/ him either.
You've been Stroh'd™!!!
Isn't Walden a UFA after this year?
If so, I might see a 1 game suspension after this incident, and then they just don’t resign him. Could happen if he’s done after this year

I think your right.
He is a FA after this season. Whether they chose to re-sign him now is certainly up for debate. But that is a little different than just cutting ties w/ him. At least it is to me… That said, if he is their best option at OLB and at this point he probably is, they should want him back. That could all change depending on the draft and how So’oto looks while learning to play standing up. Walden has a huge advantage over any of the other OLB in that regard, Zombo included, since he’s missed so much time the past 2 years.
You've been Stroh'd™!!!
Suspend Indefinitely
He doesn’t deserve to be earning an NFL paycheck

So he'll be starting for the Vikings next year...
Sounds like were getting Zombo back at a good time. I like So’Oto in pass rushing situations, but I feel like there is a reason we haven’t seen more of him this season, especially when Walden was really struggling early in the year.
Shit happens when you win championships
I feel like there is a reason we haven’t seen more of him (So’oto) this season.
Probably becuz he isn’t as good! Not too hard to figure out… He isn’t where he needs to be in other aspects of his game. Like ST, run D and pass coverage. Heck alot of the reason, and the coaches have said as much, that he hasn’t even been active for many games is simply due to his lack of ST play. And for what its worth, Walden was winning the competition vs Zombo in training camp too. If Walden wasn’t our best option he wouldn’t be ahead of the other guys.
You've been Stroh'd™!!!
That was my point
A lot of Packer fans have been pinin to see So’Oto after he made some big plays in the preseason, and I’ve been curious as well. In Capers we trust though.

I just wish we could have seen him in a few regular season games this year. I don’t even remember seeing him play during the blowout of the Vikings.
Certainly trust the coaches, just curious about him after he played well in the preseason.

Zombo
There hasn’t been too much talk about Lattimore or So’oto other than both have a lingering injury of some kind. Both are going to have to get up to speed in a hurry as the linebacker ranks are thinning especially if Walden gets hit with a suspension. Jones is assignment sure, just not an explosive player. My money is on Zombo getting the bulk of the snaps if Walden gets suspended. DJ Smith proved he can play with the big boys and may find himself replacing Hawk one day.
Smith
If he’s replacing anyone, its going to be Bishop, since they play the same position. Francois plays Hawks position. Since Bishop just signed a large extension, not too mention is 2nd in the league, according to what I read, I don’t think Smith is gonna be getting much playing time unless its due to injuries suffered by Bishop.

IMO...
The Packers try to draft and bring in quality people who stay out of trouble. But that doesn’t always prevent trouble from finding them. However, if the team wants to look good to the players on the roster and the guys who might be on the roster another day in the future, cutting any player at the first sign of trouble isn’t a good way to do business either.
SO what they do, IMO, is try to draft guys who don’t get in trouble, but if it does find them they stay w/ the player and do what is in their power to help them. Not just dumping them becuz something did happen! Hence why they didnt immediately dump Jolly or Underwood when they had indiscretions. Thats how quallity corporations and business operate…

Couple of things.
If he can’t get out before Monday, that means there are felony charges. With misdemeanor charges, a cash bond is set automatically and the arrested person can generally pull out their credit card and/or call someone with a credit card and get out in short order.
In Wisconsin, if you’re arrested on felony charges, no bond amount is set automatically and you’re generally held until you can appear in court. If you’re unlucky enough to get picked up on a Friday, you sit until Monday. And of course on a long holiday weekend like this, you get to sit until Monday if you’re picked up on a Thursday too. Once you appear in court you get a bond amount and if you can post it, you get out at that point.
One caveat, there’s a constitutional right to a reasonable bond in Wisconsin, and if the inmate knows enough to ask, he can request the jail to contact the on call judge so bond can be set without having to wait for court. A probable cause statement is read to the judge (usually over the phone) and the judge sets a bond on the spot. Bonds set under those circumstances are generally higher than they end up being once their in court, as the judge has limited information and generally the bond relatively high in case the person in question is a flight risk or a danger to the public.
So in this case, either Walden doesn’t know enough to ask for a judge to set bond before Monday, or he’s already asked for it and the Judge set bond at a high enough level that a professional football player can’t post it. My guess is Walden just hasn’t asked…

I hope it is.
I really hope it’s a misunderstanding. Not only would that be good for the Packers (I’m not big on the idea of Zombo starting), but it would also obviously be good for Walden and his future with the team.
Tripped and hit her head?
I hope that’s what actually happened, but “I tripped and fell” stories are often times cover ups. Medical personnel – or really, anybody who takes the time to think things though – can tell when the injuries don’t match the story.
For both of their sakes, I hope she’s being honest and not covering for him after the fact. But this doesn’t pass the smell test for me. I hope I’m wrong.

I don’t know if all the facts are known yet, but I don’t think this will end well. There are probably only 2 people who know what really happened. I hope she doesn’t try to “protect him” if that is what she thinks she is doing.

Indeed
Though one promising bit from the story is that she seems to say that she never told the hospital that he beat her, but that the hospital called the police on their own.
Either way, I’m highly skeptical of that being the truth, until we hear more of the story (i.e. what the hospital people say she told them, what the cops say she (or the hospital people) told them, etc.)
Angelo: Right….so anyways Jay, I’m sure you understand that we needed to make this move and I wanna wish you the best of luck.

I know it's the internet...
And so people jump to instant conclusions, but ultimately the man is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Or he admits his guilt. Clearly if he did touch his girlfriend he has no place on the Green Bay Packers but lets not convict him on hearsay
You people are hateful Savages
This isn’t a randy moss incident where he hit a cop with his car. This isn’t a case where his wife/gf is battered and beaten to a pulp. There’s no mention of a gun or charges of it going off in a crowd of hooligan friends, so why the hate?
Seriously, give the man some credit here and don’t CRUCIFY him before y’all know anything. Look at the police report, look at the story where she talks to the cops. Her injuries are not life threatening and she recovered fine enough to talk to reporters about it.
Walden does not have a history of violence off the field or any signs of trouble. Chances are there was arguing, his wife cracked her head, and the cops being cops tossed him in jail because that’s what they do if there is even a thought of domestic violence. Courts are closed on Friday so he sits in County waiting for him to come out on bail. 3 squares and a cot for the weekend and doesn’t have to deal with the kids and you have people around you who worship the ground you walk on? Can you beat that for a weekend get away?
Cut the man some slack and stop persecuting him before you know all the facts. He’s a Green Bay Packer for crying out loud and not a damn Eagle/Raider/Viqueen.

no thank you
I deal with this stuff on a daily basis. Its in excusable!
And I am kind of offended by your comment about “Cops being cops, tossed him in jail because thats what they do” I am a cop. And no, thats not “What we do” we are mandated by law to arrest if there are any signs violence. Not every domestic sitation cops go to ends with someone going to jail.
Secondly, he was arrested for domestic substantial battery, which is a felony and prison time if guilty. Which means her injuries required stitches, lost a tooth, or worse. This is not just a slap that left a little red mark. They may not be life threatening injuries, but the substantial means they are still serious.
Her story of tripping and falling I dont buy. It seems like just another time of someone recanting to protect him.
I know my view is baisised. I do like Walden as a player, but his actions are unexcusable.

The job of police officers
What exactly do you mean by the policeman vs cop names? You think the term “cop” means dirty or something?
First off, most people do lie to the police! “do you know how fast you were going”… “55?” "how bout 75, etc… and let me guess you going to bring up oh well thats only to get out of a traffic ticket, Well think about knowing your boyfriend/girlfriend, your income, your love, or whatever being taken away after your anger about the situation cools down.. You dont think someone would lie to keep all of that out of trouble?
And come on its the old I opened the door and hit myself with it and it magically left me with a perfect black eye story… I am saying I just dont believe it. She could be right but thats my opinion.
And your right I dont know the evidence. However, I do know you have to have probable cause to make an arrest. Since he was arrested GBPD must have had enough to get PC to arrest him.
As far as I am concerned once I arrest someone they are guilty in my book. Otherwise I didnt do my job right and/or would not be arresting said person! The rest is the courts doing.. If they actually charge him with everything or plea thats something else to be said.
Like I said before I like Walden. As a fan I hope he is not guilty or gets a plea to something lower. As a cop I hope he gets what he deserves.

Not soo sure thats the case w/ domestic violence.
I do know you have to have probable cause to make an arrest.
Basically from what I’ve read they see any signs of an injury and they arrest sight unseen, to get them apart and let cooler heads prevail. I’m no cop either but I’ve read enough that in domestic violence possible cases, it doesn’t take probable cause.
I’m not taking a side in this, I’m doing what rational people do… Waiting to hear the evidence before condemning them. For all we know, she was trying to hit him and he being much bigger and stronger and in an aggitated state over-reacted when he stop her punch and that caused her hand to get knocked back into her head and causing the bruise.
There is alot we don’t know, why don’t we wait for some facts, before condemning anyone… You know the whole innocent until proven guilty theme we live by in this country!!
You've been Stroh'd™!!!
by Strohman on Nov 26, 2011 11:30 AM CST up reply actions 1 recs
You are sort of right
You arrest when there are signs that violence has occurred or will occur. Violence is the key word in WI. Injuries dont always have to be present nor do they always mean arrest.
Trust me you still need to have probable cause. Probable cause can be created through statements, observations by officers, injuries, witnesses, etc.
However, for the tripping and falling story. The reason I do not buy this is because an officer needs to get a statement of non-consent for battery and many other charges. Meaning they did not give permission for the person to harm them (there are some people that like to be hit and whatever). If he is being charge with battery, it means at some point and time she admitted to him hitting her and said she did not give him permission to hit her.
What does
Tripping and falling have to do w/ battery? If she said she tripped and fell, and there is no reason to think otherwise, who are you to not believe her? Your assuming she’s lying to you? Personally, I find that insulting to her, not too menion all other citizens! If you are a cop/police officer, your the reason we don’t tell you the whole truth! Try becoming a solution, not part of the problem!
You've been Stroh'd™!!!
Sigh....
Usually when someone is arrested that means tht there is in fact “reason to believe otherwise.” But go ahead, argue away.
All is vanity.
by levnclf on Nov 26, 2011 7:12 PM CST up reply actions 1 recs
That may be true and I don't disagree in most instances.
But domestic abuse is different in many ways, such as the amt of emotion involved. If she said she tripped and fell, why wouldn’t they believe her and assume she is lying? What evidence is there to prove that he in fact hit her if she says otherwise?
I get the battered wife syndrome, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here. If there is evidence to the contrary, then by all means arrest him, but to arrest based on an assumption that she is lying is idiotic too.
So again, how is tripping and falling, battery? Unless they are assuming she is lying…
You've been Stroh'd™!!!
Or unless there's a whole host of circumstantial evidence to which we are not privy
Somebody somewhere had a legitimate reason to call the cops and have Walden arrested. I’m guessing it was a trained medical professional with experience judging the severity of such wounds, actions, and body language. I personally was not there and cannot verify her story or the decision to call the police..
But I can still call Walden an idiot for being in the situation at all. Arguing with a girlfriend at 2:30 AM with children in the apartment viciously enough to require a hospital trip, whether through accident or fault, is an idiotic move.
Domestic abuse is treated differently tho.
There is alot of emotion and its a very volatille situation. The police many times arrest someone just to diffuse the situation and give people a chance to calm down. Is there actually alot of circumstantial evidence or was its just the best way to diffuse the situation that is loaded w/ emotion and volatility? We don’t know… And based on her saying that she tripped and fell, you have to wonder. At least I do…
I’m certainly not saying that he may be guilty, but its alot harder to tell. And in many cases the best thing to do is diffuse the situation and seperate the parties for awhile.
You've been Stroh'd™!!!
Let me try to explain this better...
The tripping and falling is the story she told the news..
What does it have to do with battery?
Walden was arrested for domestic substantial battery.
1. If you reread what I wrote about battery you might see it. But I will paraphase again for you.
For battery you need a statement of non consent.
That means the victim tells the officer they did not give someone permission to anyone to cause their injuires! That means at some point she told the officer he did it! That what is has to do with battery! So please read/ understand everything before you accuse me for being part of the problem when I was trying to assist in understanding it.
If she would not have given consent or admitted it most likely would have been just a domestic disorderly conduct which is a misdemeanor. But Walden is facing a felony of Domestic Substantial Battery.
State Statute 940.19 if you would like to educate yourself further. And the domestic enhancer is 968.075 for your info too. Domestic violence itself is not a crime just an FYI. Domestic is just an enhacer to a crime.
Huh?
You’re a cop and you don’t know the difference between suspicion of battery and battery?
He was arrested because someone suspected he caused battery.
I’m not going to defend him, but at least RTFA!
Man I know no one is going to read this
and it may look like I am standing up for Taryn . . .but . . . .
How can anyone not be not guilty of suspicion?
And don’t feed me that line about “if you have don’t anything wrong you don’t have anything to fear.” ’Cause a busted knee, a fired cop, and a settlement shows that the innocent can be abused by the system.

As far as I am concerned once I arrest someone they are guilty in my book.
Says the cop,judge and jury.
So if your superior says arrest that person and you having no idea why except your boss said to,that person is guilty.
The same goes in this case,it’s assumed he beat her and assumed she may be lying but if you were the officer to arrive at the hospital and do the arrest,he’s guilty simply because YOU put him in cuffs.WOW do you need to resign from your job.
As to the Policeman vs cop question,
The difference in each is easy to recognize,and by your attitude that makes you what you called yourself…a cop.One who thinks he is right no matter,do as he wishes,and feels superior to the everyday citizen.
A Policeman is one who has the respect of those very citizens the cop abuses.It’s been that way for a long time and it’s a distinction easliy seperated.A policeman offers his assistance.the cop shows his authority warranted or not.
before you ask,I have never been arrested and have the utmost respect for Policeman and very little regard for cops.
Sorry but this absolutely ridiculous.
Though, your above post might even beat this one. He should be fired from his job? Please. There’s nothing wrong with his comment about him thinking someone is guilty if he arrests them. I’d take that to mean he does his homework, and is confident that he’s doing the right thing when he puts the cuffs on somebody.

Where did I say fired? I said resign,big difference as in policeman and cop.
Lets arrest everyone because we THINK their guilty.
what are you trying to get at here?
YES, Police Officers arrest someone when we believe someone is guilty or we woldnt have probable cause to arrest them! If we didn’t think or believe anyone was guilty we would never arrest anyone!
All I have to do is laugh at your statement at resigning cause I called myself a cop, really? Wow, I am called 100 different names by people on the streets, 5-0, po-po, etc. Don’t you think out of anyone, I would be able to call myself and my work whatever I would like?
Also if you really think theres DNA evidence and finger prints at every scene you need to stop watching so much CSI. Officers have to base everything off of whats given to them, Statements by both parties, witnesses, and the evidence. If you think the offier didnt do his homework you are insane. Just cause a medical worker called doesnt mean anything. The officer still has to talk to her, him, and anyone else that was involved.
And if you truly believe people tell the whole truth all the time. Then I wold advise you to just go over to the DN for bit, and see how perspectives to every situation are different. Its a COPS (yeah I said COPS oh no I am so bad at my job now) job to sort through the BS to find the truth.

As I said, you don't have a clue what you're talking about.
You’re making assumptions to fit your slanted view of the profession, and my guess you’ve got little or no personal experience to back it up.
But there’s a solution for that. If you don’t like how they do business, get yourself educated in law enforcement and sign up. Most police departments of significant size have been in an almost constant state of hiring for years due to turnover; probably because they get off on the exercise of their power so much that they have to leave after a year or two because they just can’t take the constant high they get from wrongfully arresting people, right? Or at least that’s the only explanation that makes sense according to your idiotic world view.

I’m seeing a lot of, well…this looks bad for Walden, and in all probability he’s screwed. Plus you have that great post by Ted Simmons above that tries to read through the headlines.
Nice, you join the site just so you can call everyone else “hateful Savages” (sic).
I already told you! I deal with the god damn receivers so the linebackers don’t have to! I have coverage skills; I’m good at covering people! Can’t you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?!

Innocent until proven guilty...
But if he is guilty, CUT HIM! CUT HIM NOW! The Packers are special because we aren’t the ViQueens, or the Eagulls, or the Lyins’ – we don’t tolerate that crap. Yeah, give him his day in court. He is guilty of poor judgment already. Injured woman in a player’s apartment at 230 am – how can this go well for him? nothing good ever happens after midnight.
I once found $50 on the ground in a bar after midnight.

Do you remember Andre Rison?
The Packers have served as a year-long “rehab” program before. As Jermichael Finley says, “There isn’t a whole lot to do in Green Bay” (paraphrased).
But there generally isn’t poor behavior tolerated while players are in GB, this is true.
Also, I’ve met some awesome people after midnight.

Just refuting the claim
That nothing good happens after midnight. Glad you found humor in it… Was meant to, along w/ contradicting him. Least for me! LOL

I can't find him guilty without all the evidence..
if he has an anger or alcohol problem he should get help now. If he is having relationship problems, they should seek counsel or break it off. That is all.

You know what? I don't know what worse the embarrassment of this or the reaction by fans.
I really hate these stories. I really do. It makes the team look bad. It makes the player look bad. I really think it makes all of us look bad too since for the most part we fall into the camps of the following….
1. He’s evil and we should cut him!
2. Don’t judge anyone until the courts sort it out!
3. He’s an idoit and why can’t these athletes just stay out of trouble.
It’s an old song and dance and frankly I’m tired of it. We don’t know the situation but this is what we do know….
It’s wrong to beat up another person and it’s especially wrong to beat up someone you care about or love.
This screws over the Packers.
Generally this is a shame no matter how you slice it.
And for this I facepalm, sigh, and move on.

I'm inclined to believe the girlfriend's story

Everyone screws up some time or another. I certainly have made mistakes in my life; what are called sins in some circles. While I’d never condone Walden hitting his girlfriend, and I think if guilty he should receive a just punishment, he is also like me – he’s screwed up. I’ve never hit a woman, so not in the same way.
I think Strohman is correct that there is a need to wait and see. The short little stories that have appeared give too little detail to know much about what happened. It would seem that bizzle4 is also correct that some form of battery probably happened, or the police wouldn’t have arrested him. But as Stroh says there is no evidence for a history of this sort of thing. For the Packers to take any sort of action now would be crazy.
