CASTLE ROCK, Colo.-
A judge gave Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall permission Wednesday to travel out of state after an arrest on suspicion of domestic violence and false imprisonment.
Marshall was arrested Monday in the Highlands Ranch development south of Denver. A woman who said Marshall was her boyfriend told authorities they had argued and that Marshall had blocked her taxi with his vehicle when she tried to leave his home.
The woman had no injuries, said Douglas County sheriff’s spokeswoman Cocha Heyden.
Marshall and the woman, who was visiting from Georgia, had been boyfriend and girlfriend since about the eighth grade, according to the police report.
Marshall was free on a personal recognizance bond. Judge Michelle Marker modified the bond so he can go to Florida next week to help his mother sell her house. He was also allowed to leave this weekend for prescheduled marketing events. Prosecutors did not object.
Marshall appeared in court wearing a caramel-colored shirt, tie and dark brown pinstriped suit.
He and his attorney, Michael Zwiebel, declined to discuss the case.
“I’ll talk about it later,” Marshall said.
A pretrial conference was scheduled for April 18.
In a police report, the woman told investigators that Marshall followed her taxi through an apartment complex then blocked its path with his burgundy-colored Charger. He jumped out, ran toward the taxi’s passenger window, punching it and calling the woman names, according to the report.
Marshall denied hitting the window and told officers he was trying to get his cell phone back, the report said. He said he’d loaned it to her because her cell phone was being repaired.
The driver of the taxi reversed the car and managed to get around Marshall’s vehicle, the report said.
