FORT WORTH — North Texas radio personality Russ Martin unexpectedly pleaded "no contest" to a misdmeanor assault charge on Friday.

The former host of Live 105's Russ Martin Show was charged with assaulting his girlfriend on July 14, 2008 at his Southlake home. The 27-year-old woman who claimed to have been attacked by Martin said they were engaged to be married.

As part of Friday's plea deal, Martin, 48, has to complete a batterer's intervention program and two years' deferred probation.

Martin had been a fixture on local radio since 1997. He lost his job at Live 105 when it changed formats in December.
