FORT WORTH -- A former radio talk show host repeatedly screamed at his fiancee and threatened her during a domestic dispute last year at his Southlake home, according to a taped recording released Monday at a hearing in the case.
Russ Martin loudly yelled “Shut up” at his fiancee on July 14, lacing his tirade with profanities, according to the recording.
“Shut up, or you are going to get hurt,” the voice, identified as Martin’s, can be heard at one point.
The recording was played Monday during a two-hour hearing to suppress the arrest warrant against the 48-year-old Martin who had hosted The Russ Martin Show on KLLI/Live 105.3 FM.
Martin has been indicted on a charge of misdemeanor assault.
