The judge ordered Stacy to surrender his passport or else he would have to stay behind bars. He told the judge his passport was in his car in Tennessee, according to TMZ Sports. The former NFL player and his attorney told the judge a friend may be able to access it and mail it down to Florida but it may not come until the weekend. Once the passport is surrendered, he will have to post $10,150 bond.
Both charges Stacy is facing are felonies and he was ordered to have no contact with the alleged victim. He could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
Stacy, 30, appeared to beat his girlfriend in an incident at their home over the weekend. The video appeared to show Stacy throwing the woman into a television stand and hitting her, according to TMZ Sports. The gossip site, citing a restraining order application, reported that the woman said he punched her several times in the head.
Oakland, Florida, police said responding officers were at the scene "within two minutes" and Stacy had fled the scene.
Kristin Evans, the woman allegedly in the chilling video, applauded the arrest on Instagram.
"Personally I feel like the state should have several more charges, but thank you to everyone who made this possible!!! We are halfway there," she wrote.
"CONVICTION & SENTENCING NEXT!!"
In the video, the woman can be heard begging for him to stop while a 5-month-old looks on while seated on the couch. At one point, the woman can be seen being body-slammed into one of the baby’s bouncy seats.
