Derrick Ward, a former running back for the Giants, accumulated a wealth of over $10 million during his NFL career. However, it seems that he has fallen on tough times as he was recently caught committing robberies at gas stations in Los Angeles.
TMZ Sports has the details.
Derrick Ward, a former NFL running back and Super Bowl champion, was arrested this week in Los Angeles for allegedly committing multiple robberies around the city, TMZ Sports has learned.
43-year-old Ward, an L.A. native, is accused of robbing several businesses, including gas stations, over a recent period of time.
Law enforcement tells us … Ward did not use a gun during the alleged robberies — but officers say he did use force and fear to get money from the stores.
Ward was taken into custody on Monday afternoon and booked into jail around 6:30 PM. His booking information lists him at 6 feet tall, and 230 lbs.
Derrick is still in custody, according to jail records … and bail has been set at $250K.
The NFL stands for Not For Long.
Ward has been in nothing but trouble since leaving the NFL.
