Seahawks LB Hill being held on $150,000 bail
SEATTLE (AP) - Seahawks linebacker Leroy Hill has made his first court appearance since he was accused of assaulting his girlfriend.
Hill made an initial appearance in King County District Court. He is being held on $150,000 bail and has a second court appearance scheduled for Friday.
According to a probable cause statement released during Thursday's hearing, Hill's girlfriend told police she was assaulted numerous times for more than five hours on Tuesday.
The woman told police she was struck 15 to 20 times by Hill, including being hit with a bottle of alcohol in the legs and torso.
The woman told police she was restrained from leaving his residence for most of the day, and had her cellphone taken by Hill.
The statement also says Hill used a knife to cut up two of the woman's purses and a pair of shoes.
Hill is being held on investigation of third-degree assault-domestic violence and unlawful imprisonment-domestic violence. Both are felonies in Washington state.

How 'bout cut the ties now so we don't have to hear any more about this?
 @Throbbinhood I believe he is a free agent and won't be resigned by the Hawks. Hopefully no one else will sign him either.
Head injury??
Just a little roid rage.
......trade him to the Raiders.
"He is being held on $150,000 bail"
Isn't that pocket change?
Maybe she'll grow up and start making better choices in men now. I'm sure she knew exactly what kind of monster he is, but decided his money and status was well worth the risk. I don't feel at all sorry for stupid woman like this.
 @dylandawgie You know this how?
Â
Abusers don't always show their true colors right away. Â
Â
If, in fact he did this, then yes he should be jailed and banned from the NFL.  But , if she made claims that are false to get revenge then she should be charged. Â
Â
I'm holding my judgment in reserve and hoping that he didn't go nuts.
@Smokin Bear @dylandawgie Honestly, most of the girls do go after these guys for status along with the money. I do know as I know some of the x-wives or pro-ballers. There is an entire formula for pursuing them. I'll leave it at that.
 @Pollywannacracker  @Smokin  @dylandawgie    Ew.Â
If true, he should be cut from the team and banned from the NFL.
