Colts' Erik Walden, girlfriend allegedly attacked in Georgia by his ex

BRASELTON, Ga. (WXIA) – The ex-girlfriend of Indianapolis Colts linebacker Erik Walden is accused of slashing his arm and breaking a woman's arm with a baseball bat, our affiliate in Atlanta reports.

According to Braselton Police, Erica Palmer, who has two children with Walden, was arrested Sunday on numerous charges after the incident.

Police say Palmer suspected that Walden was seeing another woman. She then allegedly parked her car outside the home and — with her two children still in the vehicle — entered the house through a back door.

Walden arrived with a female companion and was allegedly confronted by Palmer, who police say was armed with Walden's gun and a baseball bat.

Walden was able to wrestle the gun away from Palmer, but she allegedly managed to hit the woman with the bat, breaking her arm. Palmer then ran away, police said.

As Walden and the woman attempted to drive themselves to a hospital, police say Palmer reappeared from a wooded area with a knife and cut Walden's arm. She then ran away again.

Police traced Palmer to a nearby hotel and arrested her on Sunday.

Palmer is charged with two counts of aggravated assault, family violence aggravated assault, theft by taking, and first-degree burglary. She was not granted bond at her first court appearance on Thursday, and is being held at Hall County Jail.

The children have been placed in the care of Walden.

Walden was treated and released from the hospital. According to his bio on the Colts website, he is from Dublin, Ga., and played in college for Middle Tennessee State. He has been in the NFL for eight years; in addition to the Colts, he has played with the Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys. He led Dublin High School to a 14-1 record and a state title game in 2002.
