WFAA talks to radio host Russ Martin about charge

I've been following the controversy in Dallas concerning radio host Russ Martin. He was arrested last year and recently received probation after pleading no contest to assaulting his fiancee last summer.

WFAA Channel 8's Janet St. James sat down and talked with the former 105.3 KLLI-FM and 97.1 KEGL host about the incident. It is the first time he has talked:

From his mansion in Collin County (complete with a statue of Jack Daniels and a signature Batman rock), Martin explained that last July's argument started when his girlfriend missed an IRS deadline over property taxes.
St. James: "Did you touch her in any sort of aggressive way?"
Martin: "No."
St. James: "You didn't touch her at all?"
Martin: "Again, you're talking about a year ago on a night that in my mind, nothing really happened except I was an ass, I busted her laptop, and I asked her to leave." READ THE REST
