Michael Bennett has surrendered to authorities in Texas and a judge there set the traded Seahawk's bond at $10,000 for a felony charge of abusing an elderly security woman at last year's Super Bowl in Houston.
Harris County (Texas) Judge Robert Johnson presided over a brief hearing for Bennett Monday. The three-time Pro Bowl defensive end, whom Seattle traded to the Philadelphia Eagles this month, asked that he not be handcuffed. The judge refused Bennett's request. He said he could not give preferential treatment and that Bennett needed to follow normal court protocol for a defendant who's been indicted on a felony charge.
