Russ Martin Returns to Local Airwaves
Tuesday
Jul 29, 2008
Talk radio host Russ Martin went back on the air Monday and is expected to stay on the radio for the foreseeable future, according to David Henry, the general manager of KLLI-FM (105.3).
Martin was arrested July 18 on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in connection with a July 14 altercation involving a 27-year-old woman at his Southlake home.
The woman, whose name has not been released, says she was engaged to Martin. She told police that he became enraged after phoning home and learning she had failed to follow up with an IRS agent about a package delivery.
Martin and his attorney have declined to comment on the substance of the allegations against him.
He left the airways after his arrest. He was originally scheduled to return last Tuesday, but the station decided to hold him off the radio.
Monday, he returned to the air, speaking primarily about local news events. A co-host joked about his arrest, but Martin did not comment about his legal troubles.
