Manziel Appears in Dallas Court and Gives Media the Finger

Johnny Manziel made an appearance in a Dallas courtroom today after turning himself into authorities on Wednesday. Manziel is facing a charge of domestic violence resulting from a January incident involving his ex-girlfriend, Colleen Crowley.

Judge Roberto Canas set the following conditions for his release on $1,500 bond.

“You can’t call her, you can’t text her, you can’t email her, you can’t send her any letters or go to where she’s at,” Canas told Manziel according to profootballtalk.com.

Judge Canas also told Manziel that he was not to possess any firearms.

Manziel could be facing up to a year in prison and a $4,000 fine for the domestic violence incident.

Fortunately, the judge did not prohibit Manziel from participating in his recent favorite activity - following Justin Bieber. Johnny should have no problem catching Bieber's upcoming shows in New York and Pennsylvania.

Some observers also noticed that Manziel was covertly giving the middle finger to courtroom cameras.

Manziel's middle finger is not a new gesture.
