"It’s a condition of bond, and there are certain conditions like you can’t drink," the attorney explained. "Jimmie believed it was for not getting intoxicated, like he could have a drink. There was no contact with the complainant. The court has a zero tolerance policy for drinking while on bond, unbeknownst to him."

Jackson clarified that there were no new allegations leveled against Ward and the no contact order has not been violated. 

Ward was arrested in Texas on June 12 and charged with assault on a family member by impeding breathing or circulation, which is a third-degree felony.
