The one-time Super Bowl champion appeared in a Los Angeles-area courtroom on Wednesday to issue the pleas.
Court records show the 43-year-old is now facing seven counts of second-degree robbery in the case … after authorities say he stole from several businesses in L.A., including gas stations.
Officials claim Ward did not use a firearm to commit the crimes — but coerced employees to hand over goods using force and fear.
Ward was arrested back on Dec. 18 following the allegations. Records show he ultimately posted $100,000 bond this month. He’s now due back for another hearing in the case in early February.
Best of luck to Derrick Ward as he’s back in court to prove he isn’t guilty of the robbery charges leveled against him.
