According to a report from ESPN's "Outside the Lines," in 2010 Walton allegedly struck a female bar patron twice on the face, with the force of the blow knocking her off her barstool. Walton was charged with assault and battery, but the case was dismissed on April 10, 2010.[1] On January 26, 2018, Walton was placed on administrative leave from his position as an assistant coach with the NBA G League's Agua Caliente Clippers in Ontario, California "pending further investigation" of the 2010 incident.[2]
