Brandon Marshall Wife: Mich Marshall Arrested in Stabbing of Miami Receiver

Michi Nogami-Marshall was arrested Friday on a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon domestic violence.

According to several sources, Miami Dolphins receiver Brandon Marshall's wife Michi, 26, was arrested by the Broward Sheriff's Office for allegedly stabbing him. The actual charge is aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

Marshall was admitted into the ICU of Broward General after being stabbed Friday night, but that wasn't the story that he initially told.

According to the police, Marshall said that he slipped and fell on a broken glass vase, but deputies found no blood anywhere near there.

His wife on the other hand, told deputies in the arrest report, that she stabbed Marshall with a kitchen knife in self-defense.

Domestic violence is never pretty, so the best we can hope for is that Marshall fully recovers and that the truth comes out so this sort of thing doesn't happen again.

Or even worse next time.

Marshall has been a controversial and prolific receiver since he's been in the league, this will just add to the list of stories.

Though the story broke this morning, his agent has now released a statement, according to the Sun-Sentinel:

"This is a very difficult time for Brandon and his family, thankfully he will make a full recovery. We simply ask during this time we respect his privacy," Marshall's agent, Kennard McGuire, said in a statement.

Interestingly enough, the Florida paper also points out another interesting detail about Marshall's past:

This isn't the first time Marshall suffered a serious injury during the offseason. During the 2008 offseason he suffered a bad laceration to his arm when smashing through a television set at his home.

Marshall initially said he slipped on a McDonald's wrapper but then admitted he also was involved in "horseplay" with a family member.

Let's hope he gets past this one as well. And he might want to start telling the truth as soon as the story breaks. Makes it a little easier to believe him.
