Police Records Complicate Herschel Walker’s Story

The Associated Press obtained a heavily-redacted police report involving Hershel Walker (R), who is running for U.S. Senate in Georgia:

“One warm fall evening in 2001, police in Irving, Texas, received an alarming call from Herschel Walker’s therapist. The football legend and current Republican Senate candidate in Georgia was ‘volatile,’ the therapist said, armed with a gun and scaring his estranged wife at the suburban Dallas home they no longer shared.”

“Officers took cover outside, noting later that Walker had ‘talked about having a shoot-out with police.’ Then they ordered the 1982 Heisman Trophy winner and onetime Dallas Cowboy to step out of the home.”
