Last month, Dolphins receiver Brandon Marshall’s lawyers explained that Marshall would talk to police regarding the incident that resulted in Marshall getting stabbed by his wife if/when an order preventing Michi Nogami-Marshall from contacting her husband is dropped.

Apparently, Michi and Brandon Marshall decided to stop waiting.

According to CBS4 in Miami, Marshall’s wife has been arrested for violating the order that requires her to stay away from Marshall and the couple’s home. “Clearly, the arrest today -- based on her actions -- she had to be taken into custody because she violated a court order,” a police spokesperson said.

She reportedly claimed that she was living in the home while Marshall was out of town. Per the arrest report, he returned home, a verbal dispute arose, and someone called 911 and hung up.

The evidence is pretty clear. The order requires her to stay 500 feet away from the home. When police arrived, she was inside the home.

Marshall’s wife initially was arrested after stabbing Marshall on April 22. She explained that she was acting in self-defense, which could explain Marshall’s decision to talk to police.
