Former Oklahoma State running back Tyreek Hill plead guilty to domestic violence in incident that involved his girlfriend who was pregnant at the time.
Hill was dismissed from the team following his arrest after being an All Big 12 performer.
Here are more details from ESPN:
Former Oklahoma State football player Tyreek Hill pleaded guilty Friday to domestic assault and battery by strangulation in an incident involving his then-pregnant girlfriend last year.
Hill, an All-Big 12 all-purpose player last season, entered the guilty plea in a Payne County courtroom. He will be on probation until August 2018 and won’t have additional penalties unless he violates conditions of his probation, including completion of an anger management course, a yearlong program for batterers and payment of a $500 fine. If he avoids trouble, the case will be dismissed, and there will be no felony on his record.
“He accepted responsibility,” said Hill’s attorney, Jay Husbands. “He understands what he did, and he addressed the things that needed to be addressed so he can put this situation behind him.”
Hill is yet another example of athletes who don’t know how to keep their hands to themselves when it comes to women, and it cost him a chance at a promising career.
Hill was turning into a very nice player before this incident occurred and now there is no telling what is going to happen with his career once all this legal issues are settled.
