Walden and another woman entered his Braselton, Ga., home, where Palmer had allegedly entered earlier through a back door. Upon seeing them, Palmer struck Walden's companion with a baseball bat, breaking her arm, while Walden wrestled a gun away from Palmer, according to police.
Palmer then allegedly sprinted away but reappeared as Walden attempted to drive himself and the other woman to a hospital, and proceeded to slice the Colts linebacker with a knife.
Braselton police arrested Palmer at a hotel shortly after.
She faces counts of aggravated assault, family violence aggravated assault, theft by taking, and first-degree burglary.
Palmer and Walden have two children together. They're in the care of the 29-year-old Walden while Palmer remains in jail.
