[Costello:] Former Quarterback Johnny Manziel in court, oh, just about 25 minutes ago. He's facing domestic violence charges. Let's check in with Andy Shoals. What happened?
[Andy Scholes, Cnn Sports Anchor:] Hello, Carol. This was not an arraignment today. Manziel did not enter a plea. This was just a bond hearing. The judge laying out the conditions of Manziel's bond, which he posted yesterday. The judge had just two conditions for him. One, was that he could, in no way, contact or be in the presence of his ex-girlfriend, Colleen Crowley. The other was that he could not be in the possession of a firearm. Now this was Manziel's mugshot from yesterday. Now he actually tweeted about the mugshot last night, saying, "just thankful that I had a shirt on this time." Referring to when he was arrested in college for fighting and possessing a fake I.D. Now that mugshot in 2012, Manziel did not have a shirt on. Manziel has since deleted that tweet. And Carol, the judge did not set a date for Manziel's next court appearance. So when this continues, we don't know quite yet.
[Costello:] This he doesn't seem to be taking this very seriously, Andy.
[Scholes:] Well you know, Johnny Manziel is a mystery right now. A week ago we saw him in a bar in Columbus, Ohio watching the first round of the draft on television by himself, because he was on his way to his second Justin Bieber concert of the week. So it appears right now that he hasn't been taking this seriously. But today in court, he did answer all the questions that the judge had for him. And he might now, for the first time, Carol, actually be taking this seriously...
[Costello:] Well because he could face jail time, right?
[Scholes:] Yes, the maximum punishment for the misdemeanor assault charge is one year in jail. So we'll have to wait and see. I mean, there have been talks of a deal being cut before they ever come back to court. So that is a possibilit
[Y. Costello:] And the incident, the incident that led to his court appearance, right? He allegedly broke the eardrum of his former girlfriend.
[Scholes:] Yes, that's what she told police. She said that he hit her so hard that her eardrum was ruptured. And then that same night, he threatened to kill both him and her. That's what Colleen Crowley alleges. Johnny Manziel's lawyer meanwhile, says he expects him to be acquitted of the misdemeanor assault charge.
[Costello:] All right, we'll see what happens. Andy Scholes, thanks so much. I'll be right back.
