Judge Sets $1,500 Bond in Johnny Manziel Assault Case

DALLAS (AP/Staff) – A Dallas judge has set a $1,500 bond for Tyler native and former Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel in his misdemeanor domestic assault case. Manziel’s attorney, Robert Hinton, said Wednesday that the 23-year-old quarterback is expected to turn himself in for booking next week, though no date has been set. The Heisman Trophy winner and former Texas A&M star was indicted by a grand jury this week after his ex-girlfriend alleged he hit her and threatened to kill her during a night out in January. She alleged she was hit so hard that she temporarily lost hearing in one ear. Manziel faces a Class A misdemeanor that carries up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine. Manziel has been dropped by two agents and his endorsers.
