Update: 105.3 FM is not putting Russ Martin back on the air for the time being. Good decision…Kudos to whoever made that decision.
Local radio talk show host Russ Martin was arrested on Friday after allegedly assaulting his fiance in his Southlake home. At some point during the assault, he pointed a pistol at her. I’m not sure if he’s going to be back on the air at 105.3 FM (especially since he faces up to 20 years in prison), but the station is airing “the Best of Russ Martin” today during his show’s normal time slot. If he is found guilty and the station allows him back on the air it would show extreme disrespect on behalf of the station to all of Tarrant County’s domestic violence victims.

Thanks for nice article.
I always hated him anyway. He is really sexist and just an overall pig of a man.
