CASTLE ROCK — Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall appeared in Douglas County District Court today to ask that his bond be modified to permit travel after being arrested on domestic violence and false imprisonment charges Monday night.

Marshall’s attorney, Michael Zwiebel, told the judge that Marshall would need to travel over the next couple of weekends to attend marketing functions and visit his mother in Florida.

Marshall’s request was granted and a new date for a pre-trial conference was set for April 18.

"This is exactly what happens on a first appearance unless you've gotten a chance to see the police reports which we haven't," Zwiebel said.

Marshall did not comment as he entered and left the courtroom and passed by a throng of TV cameras and reporters.

He was arrested Monday night at his apartment complex in the 8500 block of Gold Peak Lane in Highlands Ranch after his girlfriend, Jameelah Watley, called the sheriff's department and told them that Marshall was preventing her from leaving in a taxi by blocking the vehicle's path with a Dodge Charger.

Watley told deputies that Marshall got out of the Charger and was banging on the taxicab's windows and yelling at her.

According to sheriff's reports, the couple had spent most of the evening arguing.

Marshall denied having struck the windows of the taxi and said he was trying to get his cell phone back from his girlfriend before she caught a flight to Georgia.
