Former NFL running back Mark Walton was arrested Thursday after allegedly violating a protection order filed by the mother of his child.

TMZ Sports reported police responded to a domestic disturbance call at 3:30 a.m. ET Thursday in Florida and found Walton was arguing with the woman, who had previously filed a restraining order against him. Walton was then arrested and booked at the Miami-Dade County jail.

Walton has been arrested six times since January 2019. In November, the Miami Dolphins cut Walton after he was arrested on suspicion of battery of a woman who was pregnant with his child. He was arrested in January on a second count of battery of a pregnant woman dating back to March 2019.
