Radio host Russ Martin had been expected to return to the airwaves this afternoon, but KLLI-FM (105.3) abruptly reversed course today and said he won't be returning immediately. The 47-year-old host of the highly rated Russ Martin Show was arrested Friday on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in connection with a July 14 incident at his home in Southlake. The 27-year-old woman who said she was attacked told police she was Martin's fiancee. Martin and his attorney have declined to comment on the substance of the allegations against him.
Officials at KLLI did not characterize Martin's absence from the air as a suspension. Neither, however, would they say when he might return.
A copy of Martin's arrest warrant and affidavit can be found here.
