Scott Parks, Entercom news in KC (on 610 am) reports that Larry Johnson has been charged with 1 count of domestic assault. He's due in court later this month if I heard correctly. He turned himself in last night.

He's never pistol whipped anyone. But don't let the facts get in the way of your lame attempts to troll.

How's the view from the bottom of the division?

Do the Denver cops look the other way on that sort of thing like they did with John Elway's drunken trips home from the downtown bars?

Hmm, apparently that’s what they have in common, neither one has “pistol whipped his woman”.
So that would make Brock correct now wouldn’t it.

Larry Johnson arrested in domestic abuse case
By TONY RIZZO
Kansas City Star

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Kansas City Chiefs voiced their support for running back Larry Johnson on Friday after domestic violence charges were filed against him.

Johnson, the Chiefs' first-round draft pick this year, was arrested early Friday at his south Leawood home. He is accused of slapping his girlfriend in the face and threatening her with a handgun during an argument at his home. The 22-year-old woman, who lives in Pennsylvania, called police from a neighbor's yard shortly after 1 a.m. Friday.

Prosecutors charged Johnson, 24, with a felony count of aggravated assault and a misdemeanor charge of battery. Defense attorney Kevin Regan represented Johnson at his initial court appearance later Friday and entered not-guilty pleas on his behalf.

General manager Carl Peterson expressed disappointment in hearing the news of the charges but said the team would wait to get all the facts before taking any action.

``Knowing the head coach, he always considers someone innocent until proven guilty," Peterson said.

Indeed, coach Dick Vermeil expressed confidence in a favorable resolution and said he hadn't ruled out Johnson for this weekend's game in Denver.

``I kind of believe he will be there, but I don't know, guys," he said. ``I know very little more than you do. I've been told his side of it, and I believe him....

``(I) always believe the player. You know him so well. I always go on that side."

Regan said he would apply for the district attorney's diversion program, which is a probation-like agreement. If Johnson successfully completes the program, the charges would be dismissed.

``We vehemently deny that he threatened her or touched her in any way, shape or form," Regan said after the hearing.

Police recovered a handgun, but Regan said it is legally owned by Johnson and was not loaded.

In arguing for a personal-recognizance bond, Regan said Johnson once had to call police to his home in Pennsylvania because of the woman. He said Johnson has no criminal record, is a homeowner and has performed volunteer work for area charities.

``He's been a good citizen," Regan said after the hearing. ``He's a good kid."

Assistant District Attorney Brian Lipford asked for a $5,000 bond, and Magistrate Judge James Phelan complied. The judge set several bond conditions, including no contact with the alleged victim, no use of alcohol and drugs and no possession of firearms.

Johnson's next court hearing was scheduled for Jan. 7. Regan hopes to know by then whether the diversion will be granted .

Meanwhile, it appears Johnson will be met with open arms by many of his teammates.

``He's come into this group and to this team, and he's fit very well," said fullback Tony Richardson. ``He's definitely going to need our support. He's going to be asking for it. That's the type of team we have. We're a close-knit group. It's a big family around here."
