But this is not the first time Dennard has been in trouble:

 

More than a year ago, Stille said, Dennard was contacted by Lincoln police over a fight outside a downtown Lincoln bar, and Dennard punched an investigating officer in the face. He said Dennard was convicted of assaulting the officer.

 

In March, Dennard received two years of probation, a 30-day jail sentence and 100 hours of community service for his felony assault conviction.

 

Lancaster County Court Judge Stephanie Stacy told Dennard that the jail sentence would start March 1, 2014, during the NFL offseason.

 

Dennard's lawyer, Terry Dougherty, told the judge after the sentencing that he'd file a motion next March to suspend the sentence if Dennard complies with all parts of his probation. Stacy said she'd consider the motion.

 

Nebraska coach Bo Pelini attended the hearing. He also wrote a “character letter” in support of Dennard. New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick and University of Nebraska Regent Tim Clare also wrote character letters.

Won't this mean jail now,or at least in the near future?

I'm guessing a DUI won't go over well with his probation officer...This kid is heading for jail, then suspension (if anyone ever gives him a chance).

 

And no, we definitely should NOT sign him (Pats have yet to cut him anyway as far as I know).

You must not live in the real world. This stevestojan gets continued or pled down all the time, and people who should be in jail according to every letter of the law... walk out of the courtroom. Especially if you have the least little claim to fame.

Yeah, it's one thing when this happens to someone in the relative clear, it's another when it happens to a guy on probation.

 

He got his free pass when he got let off extremely light after assaulting an officer (possibly spending no time in jail). However when you follow that up with another felony, a few months into your probation the chances of a second free pass are slim to none. We aren't talking about someone with star power here either.

 

He'll definitely be doing the original 30 days in jail, but very likely he'll do more.

 

This one is no surprise. Hopefully Da'Rick Rogers is watching and seeing how not to act.

Meh, I doubt he'll get in any real trouble. I feel like this sort of thing always gets washed away when it comes to pro athletes.

 

as long as he can make it through the hearing without any taps on his lawyers backside.
