Erik Walden arrested?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Walden looked darn good today. I saw a couple run fits where he got under his guy and flat out dominated the point. He had pressure on the QB too. He played with a big fucking chip. I hope we don't lose him. I thought he had a hell-of-a game.

None of the D linemen got a speck of pressure, or even much push. Walden was around QB, along with CM.

And he doesn't have any priors? What made it a felony?

It would appear that the extent of the bodily harm inflicted, or the extent of the intent is the main factor.

I saw way too many runs at his side to agree with this assessment.

An arrest doesn't have to depend on priors. They booked him on the suspicion that he caused her injuries.

Walden charged with disorderly conduct. Faces 90 days of jail and $1,000 fine max.

Interesting notes:
1. She reported the cause of injury to both the Hospital and 911.
2. She called 911 and reported a domestic violence incident
3. In both instances, she claimed the proximate cause was him pushing her open handed
4. Dispute was over a trip to Georgia that she and their two children would not accompany him on
5. His lawyer says it is still not clear who started this
6. The complaint quotes Walden as telling the girlfriend that she has no say in the matter because she does not work
7. The DA says its important for her to testify or the original info (before her clarification) will be used

Seems like they are going to pin a charge on Walden unless his girlfriend testifies in court that the story originally presented is incorrect. That would be covering you hindquarters and puts enormous pressure on the girlfriend.

There are fascinating things to analyze in the complaint, especially if:

1 - the interview with Walden occurred immediately after the interview with "Girlfriend X"; and/or
2 - Walden and "Girlfriend X" did not speak to each other between the two interviews.

If #2 above is true, #1 is virtually irrelevant.

It appears that the description of events by "Girlfriend X" changed during the course of her initial interview, after she realized the trouble he could be in. Changing her story could be for many reasons, but two of the more likely are:
A - to try to keep Walden out of serious trouble, even though her first description was more accurate.
B - she had exaggerated his fault and her nonfault before realizing the seriousness the police would attach to the report. When told, she realized she had to be more accurate about what really happened.

Now, if you look for similarities between the descriptions, the revised description by "Girlfriend X" and that by Walden are very similar and can be reconciled with each other quite easily. Her initial description and that given by Walden are not so easily reconciled.

For her second version and his only version to be so similar, they would have had to:
i. Concoct them together. (This didn't happen, because she changed her version "on the fly.")
ii. Devise his to comport with hers. (This requires them to have collaborated.)
iii. In fact be the more truthful accounts of what happened, as each perceived the event.

Thus, it all could come down to if they did or did not communicate with each other between her interview and his. If they did not, it leads one to conclude that "B" and "iii" above are the reasons behind her changed story. If they communicated, "A" and "ii" are plausible.

Logical. Flawlessly logical.

Aaahh....Pon far.....that explains everything.

While Walden is embroiled in an off-field court case, he's been playing the best football of his career of late. In his last eight games, he has 13 quarterback hits and 12 pressures, according to Pro Football Focus.

Hopefully Walden will continue to engage in disorderly conduct against opposing quarterbacks.

Just so long as he keeps his positive role models:

Walden is apparently one of the best at getting somewhere near the QB just a little too late. What a factor!

walden is no monster, but I've been noticing he's had a positive effect recently.

Erik Walden & Atari Bigby have three things in common.
