Well-known sportswriter Jonah Keri was granted bail Friday following an alleged assault on his wife.

 

Keri faces four charges including three counts of assault causing bodily harm and uttering death threats.

 

He was detained Thursday after being arrested at the couple’s Montreal-area home.

 

 

Keri was handcuffed and wearing a green sweatshirt when he appeared in court Friday and was granted bail.

 

As part of his bail conditions he cannot be within 250 metres of his wife and cannot carry weapons, and was given ten days to get his possessions out of his home.

 

Court documents state the alleged attacks against Keri's wife took place in July 2018, May 2019, and July 2019.

Agreed, he seemed like a good guy but is obviously scum. Good riddance...I had his Expos book on my list of books to eventually read too

Oh my god. I was wondering why Freezing Cold Takes had re-popped a Tweet he sent about Aroldis Chapman during his Cubs days and I just assumed he had written something bad. Never even occurred to me that would happen. Jesus.

Wow, he's about the last sportswriter I would have expected that from. Except for maybe Dave Cameron, whom I doubt has the requisite physicality to actually lift his arms above his waist.

Oh man, I think they've got a couple of young kids too. Awful.

It probably makes it even worse, but I think this is his second wife and his twins were from the previous marriage.

Pretty sure he’s got a kid from this marriage also. I seem to remember him either saying his wife was pregnant or they had a kid on his podcast last year.
