Michael Floyd has been serving his 120 day sentence for DUI in Maricopa County, Arizona, but now he is about to be released to home detention with some strict conditions. Here are the details from ESPN.
When he is released in two weeks, among the conditions of Floyd’s home detention are that he will not be able to consume alcohol, nor use mouthwash or over-the-counter medication with alcohol in it. He’ll be wearing a device that can monitor alcohol in his system.
It is not known at this time if Floyd’s attorney will file a motion for permission to leave the state while he is under home detention. ESPN has reached out to Floyd’s attorney, who has not returned calls.
Floyd is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent on March 9. If he cannot leave the state of Arizona and is not signed by the Cardinals, the earliest Floyd will be able to report to his new team will be June 17, by which time most if not all teams have concluded their offseason workouts.
His jail sentence could not have come at a worse time, but if he can still play I’m sure he will still draw some interest.
