Dalton released from jail
 

Chiefs player charged with domestic violence

By BRAD COOPER The Kansas City Star


A defensive lineman for the Kansas City Chiefs was arrested early today and charged with domestic battery for an alleged physical altercation with his estranged wife, authorities said.

Lional Dalton, 30, is accused of grabbing his estranged wife by the hair and pulling her down, said Johnson County District Attorney Paul Morrison. He was released from jail on a $2,500 bond. Dalton is barred from contacting his estranged wife for 72 hours. He’s scheduled in court next week.

The charge Dalton is facing is a class B misdemeanor. He faces up to six month in prison and a $1,000 fine if convicted.

Dalton’s attorney, Kevin E.J. Regan, said his client plans to plead not guilty. Regan declined comment on the facts of the case. He said he would investigate the matter with “due diligence” and handle it in the appropriate manner.

Dalton’s estranged wife was in town from Florida for the holiday when the incident was reported, Morrison said.

Dalton, who signed a two-year contract as a free agent with the Chiefs last year, was arrested at his Stilwell residence about 1:40 a.m. today, according to Johnson County jail records

Man, when you split, why the **** do you let them come to town and spend time with you?!?!

That just upped his season tackle count by 11 percent.

Legal notice: Rain Man in no way condones, overlooks, or disregards the serious nature of domestic violence, and attributes this incident to the fact that all of the Bronco has not yet been removed from Dalton's personality.

I'm sure the femmies will hate me, but you men have it rough.

Grabbing her hair and pulling her down?

Thats not what men do when they're trying to hurt you.

So you're saying ... what here exactly? He just wanted a "mouth hug?"

I'm saying I wasn't there and it sounds reeruned.

Could be another instance like LJ with the ex stalking you and then causing trouble with your new girlfriend.

Don't deflect. It's impolite. :p

What you said was, and I quote, "Grabbing her hair and pulling her down?

Thats not what men do when they're trying to hurt you."

So, what do men want when they grab you by the hair and pull you down. What's that mean exactly? We men need a woman's point of view on this so we have a solid defense, should that happen to us and we end up in the gray bar motel.

As much as I hate to say this, I was thinking the same thing.

Scenario: She comes all the way from FL, starts bitchin about wantin money, he tells her to get bent and she gets pissed off and files a complaint against him for this "alleged" incident.

Great another woman beater on the Chiefs, I am not so sure the charachter of this team is any better than it was under Marty or Gun.

I'm sorry. :p I was still all Grrr.

I have long hair. Guys pull my hair every chance they get.

I've never bothered to ask why :p

That's "alleged" woman beater. Innocent until proven guilty and all that jazz.

You just made me drool on myself. Thanks for that. Really. :p

Wear pants and you won't have that problem.

The police pretty much don't take a person in unless the physical assault is not in doubt. This does not mean the prosecutor will obtain a conviction. I understand the difference. OJ was found not guilty as well as you know.

Yeah. Heh heh. Right. That's an awfully myopic viewpoint.

Eh, speculation. You're a fan of the constitution, right?

I could probably get my husband thrown in jail if he even yelled at me a little too loud.

Actually I truly find myself viewing everything under the light of guilty until innocence is proven. That is my background. One judge was actually shocked I felt that way but disqualified me for jury duty after I convinced him. It is just my background and experience working with the police and having them as relatives. The criminals already have the advantage that all a defender has to do is create reasonable doubt.

My son's Mom REALLY likes her hair pulled...

Wrong. The man is pretty much always going straight to jail if a complaint is filed, regardless of the lack of physical evidence.

You may indeed be correct, society and everything have changed so much since the 70s when I worked computers for the Police Department and all my law enforcement relatives retired by the early 90s. I was speaking based on my experience and that is admittedly out of date.

This stuff is always near impossible to speak intelligently about unless you were there. I don't know what happened. Were there witnesses? What are there stories?.. legal proof?.. easy money?.. bad temper?.. a-hole woman beater?.. dejected ex wantin' a piece o' da' bank?..
How many ways can you say "Call it in the air!"

Vlad's eperiences are all from the 60's. It was true then, it's not now.

My experiences are from 1997. They'll haul you away for looking at your significant other strangely. I quickly learned that they won't take whomever made the call so I started calling before her. After her second trip she moved her shit out of my house.

Yep, although I like the law in Denver (changed about 10 years ago I think). If domestic distrurbance is called in, BOTH PARTIES go to jail for the night. Provides incentive to not accuse falsely, and separates any combatants for the evening.

Plus, there's nothing more gratifying then getting a call from your M-I-L at 2AM asking to be bailed out of jail! Anytime I hear any shit, I always bring up my trump card.
:p

arrested for grabbing her hair and pulling her down?!

glad the cops weren't there the last time I fucked my girlfriend.

Didn't Dalton get into some shit a couple years ago, along these same lines?
