Former Texas Rangers star Josh Hamilton has been indicted on a felony charge of injury to a child after his teenage daughter accused him of beating her.
A Tarrant County grand jury indicted the 38-year-old Hamilton on Monday. He remains free on $30,000 bond after he turned himself in to authorities on Oct. 30. If convicted, he faces a prison sentence of two to 10 years in prison.
Hamilton's attorneys say the Texas Rangers Hall of Famer is innocent of the charge. His 14-year-old daughter told her mother, Hamilton’s ex-wife, that her father struck her after he became enraged by a comment from her.
According to an affidavit by a Keller Police Department detective, Hamilton’s daughter told police that he went on a rampage Sept. 30. She says she made a comment to Hamilton that upset him, so he threw a full water bottle overhand at her, hitting her in the chest, then cursed and shouted at her.

She should root for the Phillies. They can’t beat anyone.
Horrible signing...and Scioscia kept playing him (3 for 31 in the playoffs). Angels have had some horrible signings, but that was the worst.
Oh yeah. I’m stealing that one!
Sorry to hear this I witnessed an inspiring talk by him at church Sometime ago when it appeared he had beaten his addictions by embracing faith
Sorry to see his relapse of misconduct
A real POS if he did it.
Or a mean spiteful daughter making it up?
He should not have done that, and he should not be under arrest for it.
My grandmother was like a mother to me and I adored her. I once said a bad word to her and she scrubbed my teeth with a bar of palmolive soap. Also spanked me a time or two. I owe her everything and never dreamed of filling out a police report. Just the opposite.
prayers....
2-10 years for spanking your daughter? Freaking ridiculous.

I think he was a good manager...
Sounds like he’s still drinking
Misconduct??? It sounds like an alcohol fueled rage.
Nah. It sounds like he’s drinking again. His booking photo has the pudgy look of a drunk
He did more than that. And yes hitting a teen ager is never a parenting technique
yep. kids call the cos on you nowadays if you take away their smartphones. Throw in a scorned/spiteful ex who wants to hear from HER kids that dad is a rotten SOB...
