1501 Certified Entertainment founder and former MLB star Carl Crawford was arrested for felony assault on his ex-girlfriend last Thursday (June 4). He was able to bail out on Friday (June 5) but reportedly still faces up to 10 years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine.
According to Bossip, a Texas judge set Crawford’s bail at $10,000 last week, which he was able to secure with the help a local bondsman. Under the terms Crawford’s release, he must keep his distance from the alleged victim, remain in the Houston area and refrain from using any substances – especially alcohol.
In her complaint, the woman said she’d recently called f her romantic relationship with Crawford but agreed to meet with him at her apartment on May 8 to talk. When Crawford arrived, she claims he removed a semi-automatic handgun from his pocket, “unloaded the clip and ejected a round the pistol and began walking towards her holding the firearm.”

Crawford is expected in court next month.
