Johnny Manziel, former NFL quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner, smirked his way through booking and posting bond in Texas, a day before a Dallas judge ordered him to have no contact with the alleged victim in his domestic violence case, reported
The Associated Press.
Manziel was in court less than 15 minutes Thursday as Judge Roberto Canas set conditions for his release on $1,500 bond. Manziel cannot contact ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley, nor can he be in possession of any firearms.
The Heisman Trophy winner from Texas A&M was indicted last month after Crowley said he hit her and threatened to kill her in January.
No plea was entered, but defense attorney Robert Hinton says Manziel plans to plead not guilty.
The 23-year-old Manziel faces a Class A misdemeanor that carries a penalty of up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine. A status hearing was set for June 24.
A mugshot of the former Cleveland Browns quarterback was released Wednesday by police in Highland Park, Texas, a wealthy Dallas enclave separate from the city of Dallas.
In 2012, while at Texas A&M, Manziel became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy. He later signed with the Cleveland Browns. The team released him in March 2016.
