A Florida judge on Wednesday refused to increase bond for ex-Jets running back Zac Stacy — despite his ex-girlfriend’s testimony that she was “afraid to go home” after he savagely beat her earlier this month.
Stacy will remain free on $10,150 bond pending trial in the case but will be barred from entering the Sunshine State, Judge Mark Blechman ordered at a court hearing Wednesday, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
Stacy’s ex-girlfriend, Kristin Evans, told Blechman she was terrified after the 30-year-old ex-NFL player was cut loose on bond following his arrest on Nov. 18, according to the report.
“I was slapped, punched — literally picked up and thrown into my TV,” Evans said in court about the caught-on-camera assault, according to the Sentinel.
“This is not the first time he’s been violent with me. I am afraid for my safety and my children’s safety,” she added.
His defense attorney, Thomas Luka, told the newspaper that Stacy will live in Alabama with his mother for a month before he checks into a mental health facility in Colorado for 30 days.
Stacy is accused of beating Evans in front of their 5-month-old son on Nov. 13 after he came to her home to visit the baby.
Video footage of the assault appears to show Stacy hitting her in the head and throwing her around a room into a television and baby equipment.
“While she was still on the floor pleading for him to stop, he picked her up and body-slammed her onto a baby walker, causing the object to break,” an arrest record previously reviewed by The Post states.
Evans had stated in a restraining order that Stacy has abused her since she was pregnant with their child.
Her lawyer, Thomas Feiter, asked the judge to revisit Stacy’s bond conditions because of the abuse, according to the Sentinel.
“We consider him to be a very dangerous and violent man,” he said.
