1900 block of Vista Lane is a very middle class neighborhood. Are we sure it was his house? his family?

Maybe one of his daughters was out and about when he wanted her home.

Could it be possible that this incident took place at a sibling or relatives house?  It said "family member," which at first instinct one would think immediate family, but maybe he got in a dustup with his brother, cousin, etc.

A 4,200 sf house sold within the last year for $4.95 million on the 1900 block of Vista.

Choking people apparently runs in that coaching tree.

Wow, Google maps street view showed upper middle class houses. There was one under construction. Maybe that was it.

It's a neighborhood turning over that's within 5 minutes of campus. It's also Austin.

Can't a guy have rough sex in this country anymore?

True, I'd pay millions not to be stuck in Austin traffic on a daily basis.

Saw something that he went after his daughter's boyfriend?

I can't wait for Beard's, or more specifically his attorney's, explanation of this "unfortunate misunderstanding".

1. Any who knows Beard, knows he's not kind of person.
2. He has done more for woman's rights than anyone in the world
3. Prescription drugs, had a bad reaction
4. He was only defending himself
5. Bad cops..... always bad cops.
6.....

Honestly,  I wouldn't expect a statement. It will come down to whether or not the family members decides to press charges. If they do,  he's probably screwed and will try to keep this as quiet as possible.  If they don't,  they will male a vanilla statement about their being a misunderstanding with the police and that they have a happy and strong marriage.

Edit: If it's not an immediate family member, that would change things

BREAKING: Prominent Austin attorney Perry Minton, representing Beard says: "Coach Beard is 100 percent innocent of these charges. He should have never been arrested. The complainant wants him released immediately and all charges dismissed. It is truly inconceivable."

Not sure about Texas, but prosecutors in many (if not most) states can go ahead with charges in domestic violence cases even if the victim doesn't wish to. Whether you can successfully prosecute is another story. Depends on whether there's corroborating evidence, i.e. visible injuries, other witnesses, statements to police, etc.

Arrested at 4:18...but hey, why don't you step on my good material.

"Another reporter for the Statesman, Ryan Autullo, provided more critical information — that the complainant in this case is Beard's fiance."

I'm aware. But since I work in DV intervention in Texas I can tell you the difference between what they can do and what they will do. The vast majority of times that a DV case has an unwilling complaint, the case is dismissed, even in cases with video evidence or multiple eye witnesses. Hell, the vast majority of DV cases with willing complainants are dismissed (though that's usually due to lack of evidence).

Right on cue. A little more aggressive of a statement than I would usually expect. I thought they would play it more as an embarrassing misunderstanding.

Since it appears that the complainant is unwilling to press charges, my guess is that the case ultimately gets dropped and Beard continue to coach.

The Wizard is on the case.  When is his extension coming?  After the post-season when the dust settles?
