Dallas-area radio host Russ Martin is free on bail after being arrested on an assault charge, authorities say. Martin, host of the highly rated "Russ Martin Show" on KLLI-FM (105.3), was arrested Friday on a charge of aggravated assault with bodily injuries with a deadly weapon, Southlake police spokesman Mike Bedrich said. Official details were sketchy, but the Dallas Observer's Sportatorium blog says Martin was accused of assaulting his girlfriend.
The arrest has already spawned freerussmartin.com, despite the fact that the radio host already posted bail.
I like the hell outta Russ....but police are saying that she is showing injuries from him pulling her hair out, kickin her, and shoving her. I hope its not true. I have zero respect for a man that puts his hands on any woman. And yes....it was his girlfriend.

He'll be talking about it on the air Tuesday. On the air... nothing on the air is real (he makes a point to say this all the time).

Read the arrest warrant. Russ is out of control and needs help.
