Reynolds' court date set in domestic case


By JIM WYATT
Staff Writer

Titans reserve linebacker Robert Reynolds has a court date set for Thursday in Ohio in connection with an alleged domestic violence incident over the weekend.
According to police officials in Upper Arlington, warrants remain active for Reynolds on charges of domestic violence, assault and criminal damaging involving Jennifer Reynolds after an alleged incident during which the football player is accused of shoving her to the ground during an argument.
But on Tuesday, attorney Larry Riehl, who represents Reynolds, and Jeanine Hummer, city attorney for Upper Arlington, reached an agreement for a judge to hear the case at 9:30 a.m. Thursday. Upper Arlington is a suburb of Columbus, where Reynolds spent the weekend.
"Technically, in the purest sense, there is a warrant still out. But it has already been resolved,'' Riehl said. "There is an agreement that ? it will be assigned to a judge and we'll go from there.''
Judge Scott VanDerKarr is expected to set the case for a later date, and Reynolds won't be required to appear on Thursday. Robert and Jennifer Reynolds are currently separated, with their divorce set to be final next week.
On Tuesday, Reynolds met with Titans Coach Jeff Fisher at Baptist Sports Park. Reynolds, in his third year with the team, became the second Titan charged with domestic abuse this season.
He joins defensive tackle Randy Starks, who faced similar accusations in August following an incident with his fianc?e. His court case is set for next month.
Fisher benched Starks for a preseason contest following his incident. He's expected to take similar action against Reynolds, which would mean he wouldn't be allowed to play Sunday against the Texans.
Robert and Jennifer Reynolds issued a joint statement on Tuesday night apologizing to family and friends, Ohio State University and the Titans organization.
"I am just very sorry that this happened,'' Robert Reynolds said in the statement. "And, I'm sorry for the Titans because we have some positive things going, coming off the win.''
According to Officer Jerry Hutchinson, units were dispatched around 6:30 p.m. Saturday after Jennifer Reynolds called police. She told officers that she had an argument with Reynolds, and advised police that he started drinking at 7 a.m. on Saturday before the Ohio State-Indiana game.
Reynolds played at Ohio State and was a fifth-round draft pick by the Titans in 2004.
According to a police report, as the two watched television together, Reynolds was looking through her cell phone and discovered another man's name in her phone book. He became angry and proceeded to throw the cell phone at the wall, destroying the phone, and then punched a hole in the wall.
The argument continued outside, where Robert Reynolds was accused of shoving Jennifer Reynolds with both hands, causing her to fall down.
Reynolds then left the scene. Jennifer Reynolds told police that incidents of violence had occurred in the past, but she refused to sign paperwork for police.
"The fact that (Jennifer Reynolds) does not want to or may not have wanted to charge him, or is reluctant now to move forward doesn't mean we can't move forward,'' Hummer said. "I can tell you that she called the police and requested assistance.''

UA arrest warrant against Reynolds to be dropped
Wednesday, October 25, 2006

FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS



Former Ohio State player and Tennessee Titans linebacker Robert Reynolds and his estranged wife say authorities have agreed to withdraw an arrest warrant issued against him after a weekend incident in Upper Arlington led to misdemeanor domestic violence charges, the Associated Press reported last night.
"It has been agreed that the warrant will be withdrawn as expeditiously as allowed by Ohio law, but that may not occur until later this week. The City of Upper Arlington is fully satisfied with the terms of the withdrawal as we understand them," the couple said in the statement.
A telephone message left at the city attorney?s office was not immediately returned.
Upper Arlington police said they issued the warrants Saturday night after officers were called to the home of Reynolds? estranged wife, Jennifer Reynolds.
She told police that she and her husband are legally separated, with a divorce to be final Oct. 31, and that Reynolds had driven to Ohio from Tennessee to visit with the couple?s 2-year-old son.
Reynolds became incensed after finding another man?s phone number in her cell phone, Jennifer Reynolds told police. He threw the phone against the wall, breaking it and putting a small hole in the wall.
The argument moved outside, and Reynolds shoved his wife with both hands, police said.
Reynolds left before police arrived. Jennifer Reynolds told police she was not hurt and did not want to press charges, but police said they had enough evidence to proceed without her cooperation.
Jennifer Reynolds declined comment yesterday.
A spokesman for the Titans said the team was evaluating the case and had no comment. Reynolds was a fifth-round draft pick by Tennessee in 2004. He drew national attention after choking Wisconsin quarterback Jim Sorgi during a pileup in a game in 2003.

Reynolds won't play vs. Texans By Terry McCormick, [email protected]
October 26, 2006
Rob Reynolds will have his day in court today, as his attorney will answer domestic violence, assault, and criminal damaging charges before an Ohio judge, stemming from an alleged incident with his estranged wife Jennifer on Saturday evening.

When Reynolds has his next day with the Tennessee Titans is less certain.

Reynolds was told by Titans Coach Jeff Fisher to leave Baptist Sports Park after he reported to the facility on Wednesday for the team?s first practice since its bye week.

Fisher said at his post-practice press conference Wednesday that Reynolds would not play this Sunday against the Houston Texans and that the linebacker would not return to practice until Fisher had completed gathering facts about the situation.

?I?ve made the decision. He?s not playing,? Fisher said. ?He was not here today because I asked him to leave the facility. Whether he?s here over the next couple of days remains to be seen. I?m still gathering facts, but he won?t play this weekend. That?s all I can say right now.?

According to Upper Arlington, Ohio, police, Jennifer Reynolds told them that her husband had been drinking since about 7 a.m. on the day of the alleged incident, which occurred at approximately 6 p.m. that evening.

According to police, Reynolds threw his wife?s cell phone against a wall, then left her house. When she followed him outside, Jennifer Reynolds told police her husband shoved her down before leaving in his vehicle. She went on the say that other such incidents had occurred in the past

Reynolds? agent, Joe Flanagan, said Reynolds told him that ?Fisher gave him the day off, and that it was not punitive.?

Flanagan added that many of the reported events of the incident taken from the police report ?were not only in question, but inaccurate.?

Flanagan wouldn?t comment as to whether or not he thought the Titans might release Reynolds. Fisher issued a zero tolerance policy at the end of last season. Randy Starks was arrested on a domestic assault charge in August and was suspended for the preseason game that night with the New Orleans Saints. Adam ?Pacman? Jones was not allowed to play in a preseason game vs. Atlanta after his arrest in Murfreesboro in August.

For on-field measures, LenDale White was suspended one game for spitting at teammate Donnie Nickey in practice. The NFL suspended Albert Haynesworth five games for his stomping incident against Dallas that cause Andre Gurode 30 stitches in his head.

He pushed her. Whooptie do. Her cell phone broke. Holy crap, call the Pentagon.

Sounds like a last minute set up for more money in the divorce.

So she is blowing this out of proportion to get leverage in the divorce proceedings, yet she declined to file charges? :roll1:

Titans linebacker ordered to court

Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio - A judge has ordered Tennessee Titans linebacker Robert Reynolds to appear in court on Monday to answer misdemeanor charges that he pushed his estranged wife during a fight over the weekend.
Judge Scott VanDerKarr of Franklin County Municipal Court set bond at $5,000 on Thursday and scheduled an arraignment for Monday, said Jeanine Hummer, city attorney for suburban Upper Arlington where Reynolds' wife lives.
Reynolds, who was told by Titans coach Jeff Fisher to leave team headquarters, was not present at the hearing. His attorney, Larry Riehl, did not enter a plea on charges of domestic violence, assault and criminal damaging. Riehl was in court and unavailable for comment following the hearing.
Riehl said would spend the next few days reviewing police reports and witness statements before deciding how Reynolds will plead on Monday. There is the possibility of a plea agreement, although Riehl said he not met with Hummer to discuss one.
"We're going to try to expeditiously and fairly resolve this as quick as we can," Riehl said.
Reynolds must report to the Upper Arlington police to be fingerprinted and photographed before Monday's appearance, Hummer said.
Jennifer Reynolds told police her husband had started drinking that morning, then had driven to Upper Arlington Saturday night to visit their 2-year-old son. They were watching TV when Reynolds found another man's number in her cell phone.
She told police her husband threw the phone against the living room wall and destroyed it before punching a small hole in the wall. She followed him outside where he shoved her with both hands, causing her to fall against the wall.
Jennifer Reynolds, who was not hurt, told police she did not want to press charges and declined to seek a protection order, Hummer said. The couple's divorce will be final on Tuesday.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Tennessee Titans linebacker Robert Reynolds pleaded guilty to criminal damaging and a reduced charge of disorderly conduct Monday in an Ohio courtroom. The charges stem from a fight with his estranged wife at her home near Columbus on Oct. 21. He was fined $300 and avoided a more serious charge of assault.

The former Ohio State linebacker will not be put on probation, but if he is convicted of another charge in the next year, he faces further punishment. Jennifer Reynolds told police her husband, who had been drinking, got upset when he found another man's number in her cell phone. Their divorce is set to be finalized Tuesday. She told police her husband threw the phone against the living room wall, destroying the phone, and punched a small hole in the wall. She followed him outside where he shoved her with both hands, causing her to fall against a wall. Jennifer Reynolds, who was not hurt, told police she did not want to press charges and declined to seek a protection order. Reynolds did not play in Sunday's game against the Houston Texans.

Here is what I find funny about the whole thing. jerff fisher told Reynolds to leave and not come back until Fisher was able to collect more evidence. However for Pac Man Jones who had yet another run in with police nothing was done, and Jones actually played this week. Gotta love the two different standards that Fisherseems to have. Fisher might as well get his resume ready, because he won't be coaching the titans next year.
