What about that Football guy who went to jail for murdering his teammate, I think it was? Two NBA players to add- Javaris Crittendon, murder Mookie Blaylock, was warned never to drive again due to interactions with medicine, did anyway and killed somebody when he passed out behind the wheel. NASCAR legend Junior Johnson went to federal prison for moonshining, was pardoned by Ronald Reagan Steve Seligman, who has a card despite not actually qualifying for a race, paid for his race team by smuggling drugs. | ||
Ray Rice Craig MacTavish | ||
Lenny Dykstra | ||
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll add all of them. | ||
Rob Ramage impaired driving causing death and dangerous driving causing death (the death was fellow NHL alum Keith Magnuson, his passenger) Dany Heatley second degree vehicular homicide (the death was teammate Dan Snyder, his passenger) Marty McSorely assault with a weapon (for striking Donald Brashear in his head with his stick)
| ||
Basketball- Fast Eddie Johnson (not to be confused with Eddie Johnson who had a long career and went to Illinois) Baseball- Pete Rose Ugueth Urbina Don Prince Wrestling- Ken Patera Masa Saito Sivi Afi
| ||
.
| ||
Donte Stallworth, Kevin Mack, Ron LeFlore come to mind. | ||
Didn't Willie Mays Aikens go to prison? | ||
No scans of his only card, but War Machine (MMA) is doing a life sentence: Jon Koppenhaver Same with Future from wrestling. No scan, life sentence. Search "Brian McGhee wrestler" for his crimes. | ||
Doug DeCinces- Convicted of insider trading | ||
HA..now this is going to be an interesting list and I'm sure in today's age, it will grow quickly!! but how about: Rae Curruth- murder - football Bernard Hopkins, boxing, robbery Stanley Wilson -football burglary Dave Meggett- football (sadly) sex w/ minor and burglary Kieth Wright - football.. i think he did a rainbow on the crime wave, burglary, grand theft, etc etc etc
| ||
Thank you for all the suggestions! Some of them I knew (Like Tonya Harding, Dany Heatley, Donte Stallworth) but they didn't cross my mind. @tonym I already added Rae Carruth | ||
Buck “ Rock and Roll “ Zumhofe . Wrestler . Serving 25 years for criminal sexual contact | ||
Bud Selig ... knowingly allowed the use of PEDs in MLB until congress got involved. Then he turned on the players. | ||
How did I forget Plaxico Burress? Also, this site may be useful, though it deals more with arrests than convictions. It's one I bookmarked on my phone a couple years ago, but appears to still be current. | ||
Selig: As much as that's a "crime against baseball", it's not a actual criminal matter. Snuka: Charges were dropped, never convicted (I know the family). Don't forget Ray Rice - "On March 27, 2014, a grand jury indicted Rice on third-degree aggravated assault, with a possible jail sentence of three to five years and a fine of up to $15,000." | ||
Considering we have roughly 180,000 athletes listed across dozens of sports listed, I'm glad this list is so small. | ||
Booker T (Wrestling) - served 19 months for armed robbery before he started his wrestling career MVP (Wrestling) - served 9 1/2 years of a 18 1/2 year prison sentence for robbery/kidnapping before becoming a pro wrestler Christian Hosoi (Skateboarder) - served 4 years of a 10 year sentence for transporting 1.5 lbs of crystal meth Hank Thompson (Baseball) - served 3+ years of a 10 year sentence for armed robbery Farmer Weaver (Baseball) - convicted of rape - served 2 years and 10 months of a 5-21 year sentence Jim Rivera (Baseball) - convicted of attempted rape - served 5 years of a life sentence before making his MLB debut Jerry Priddy (Baseball) - convicted of extortion - served 4.5 months of a 9 month sentence | ||
John Wetteland has only been charged. Don't think he's been convicted. | ||
| ||
Esteban Loaiza - possession about 44 pounds of cocaine with intent to distribute | ||
Peter Storey - Convicted of keeping a brothel and counterfeiting gold coins. | ||
@trauty Thanks for all the suggestions! I removed John Wetteland, thanks for the update. | ||
Was Tony LaRussa convicted when he was arrested for DUI (observed asleep at the wheel of a running car)? Or was that dropped? Maurice Clarrett definitely served prison time. Jim Jackson was arrested but may not have been convicted for waving a gun at another car while driving. Considering my two favorite teams are Cardinals and Buckeyes these three hurt when they happened | ||
Not an athlete, but team owner Bruce McNall was/is in prison, and he has CFL cards. Some kind of scam with collectible coins, if I remember right. | ||
Alameda Ta'amu: Ta'amu was arrested after he allegedly evaded police while driving intoxicated and struck several parked cars, pleaded guilty to three counts of recklessly endangering another person. Aldon Smith: Multiple DUI, possession and weapons convictions, bail violation. Adam Jones: Misdemeanor assult, conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct, obstructing police Dwight Smith: Pot possession, obstructing traffic, indecent conduct, brandishing a gun Chris Henry: Providing alcohol to minors, drunk driving, concealed weapons, pot possession Bryant McKinnie: Disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, public nuisance, the "Love Boat" scandal Fred Smoot: Disorderly conduct, public nuisance, the "Love Boat" scandal Moe Williams: Disorderly conduct, the "Love Boat" scandal Larry Johnson: Multiple accounts of domestic abuse and disturbing the peace, brandishing a gun Everson Griffin: Driving with a suspended license, tased by police while trying to flee Koren Robinson: DUI, probation violation, lead police on a high speed chase Randy Moss: Careless Driving after hitting a police officer who stepped in front of his car during an illegal turn. Cecil Collins: Broke into a woman's house, just to watch her sleep. Barrett Robbins: Shot three times in fight with police, attempted murder, possession of cocaine Dwayne Goodrich: Hit & Run vehicular manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide Alonzo Spellman: Charged with interference with a flight crew after a manic episode on a plane, ten counts of eluding police officers after a fight at a convenience store led to a police chase. Darryl Henley: Cocaine trafficking, attempting to murder the judge and witness in his case Jim Dunaway: Wrongful death of his ex-wife Tommy Kane: Manslaughter in the murder of his wife Cole Ford: Fired a gun at the house of Seigfried & Roy.
| ||
| ||
Thank you EBeSPN, brimose, and vudu44! I'll add them. @switzr1 I'll still add him. | ||
I don't know who Cole Ford is, but that might be the most unusual crime on the list?!?! Peter Storey is right up there with him though. | ||
Reggie Rogers - vehicular homicide Titus Young - arrested numerous times (including twice in one day), convicted of assault | ||
@switzr1 I know. When I first saw that, I was laughing my ass off! @pistonfan Thanks! I'll add both of them. | ||
An interesting thought for a companion list...athletes that were victims of crimes. Jumping to mind immeadately are Tim Duncan and Roy Tyner. Not sure if Mickey Thompson has cards. | ||
| ||
@Billy Kingsley I might take that into consideration. Also, thanks for the suggestion. | ||
Slava Voynov, ex-NHL player. | ||
Working on a list that has to do with career saves (with the All-Time leader about to get elected into the HOF tomorrow), and remembered Jeff Reardon trying to shoplift or something. Was under the influence of...I want to say some anti-depression medication or something. | ||
with pete rose on the list, all the roid guys need to added | ||
Finnish hockey player Marko Jantunen. DUI and drug use. Finnish hockey player Jere Karalahti. Drug use and assistance to drug trafficking Both known cases. Jantunen 3 Nhl games, Karalahti 149 Nhl games | ||
@Duke Thanks for the suggestions. | ||
Alright, I must ask : What is the Love Boat Scandal? The curiously has gotten to me! | ||
@Billy Kingsley The Love Boat Scandal was when a bunch of Minnesota Vikings players had a sex party on a boat with a bunch of prostitutes. | ||
baseball Ron Lefore - armed robbery Hank Thompson - armed robbery hockey Dany Heatley - vehicular homicide | ||
@jmnovff I've added them already.
| ||
Ed Bouchee, Phillies first baseman. He was arrested and pleaded guilty to numerous charges, including indecent exposure, for exposing himself to young girls. | ||
Isn't the Love Boat thing legal if you're on a boat? Because of the implication? | ||
Also, when you thank us under the charge, it makes us sound like we were involved. "Smuggling cocaine, thanks to Billy Kingsley" For the record, I'm NOT asking you to change anything. It just struck me as hilarious when I was reading some out loud. | ||
@switzr1 The details of that incident, I think are still up in the air. But I know the players were arrested for it. Also, I didn’t notice that it made it sound like you were involved! I’m definitely not changing that @phillyphan77 Thanks, I’ll add him. | ||
Interesting list. This one just happened a couple days ago. Former Brewers pitcher: Ben Hendrickson - theft by swindle. | ||
Since you are placing them alphabetically, can you tell us in a comment who is new? If they are a result of a comment we could go off that, but I have no idea who has been added since the last update. | ||
@ntlwhlr Thanks, I’ll add him. @Billy Kingsley Ed Bouchee, Ben Hendrickson, and Adam Johnson were the most recent people added. | ||
Unfortunately one of my favourite Sonics players - Shawn Kemp - pleaded guilty to drug possession and later again to misdemeanor marijuana possession in 2005 (from what I've read on Wikipedia). Where I live - The Netherlands - the latter is completely legal though.
| ||
@Aycee Thanks. I’ll add him. | ||
Robert Swift (Sonics) - Reckless driving/DUI | ||
@Aycee Thanks! I’ll add him | ||
Lance Rentzel - indecent exposure | ||
Bob Probert - Cocaine possession | ||
Thank you! I’ll add both of them. | ||
Bill Tilden (tennis) | ||
@switzr1 Thanks! I'll add him | ||
I think Robert Swift has more than just reckless driving. Last I knew he was in jail after a police raid at his house | ||
Looking up some old Raptors players, I found Keon Clark apparently served years in prison for 'weapons charges'... | ||
@Aycee Thanks. I’ll add him! | ||
Actually, Pete Rose's crime is incorrect. He went to prison for tax evasion. | ||
@switzr1 I'll update it now. Thanks! | ||
Soccer stars Christiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi took plea deals on tax evasion. | ||
@Magai Wow, I didn’t know that. I’ll add both of them. | ||
I may have missed him on the list, but legendary drag racer Gene Snow has been arrested multiple times for being a pedophile. According to wiki he never served any time for it, unfortunately. | ||
@Billy Kingsley No, I haven't added him. I will though. | ||
I don't think I saw Jose Lind on the list. He was arrested for cocaine possesion and then later on he was pulled over for leaving the scene of an accident and driving naked, from the waste down. | ||
@Gunny I haven’t. I will now! | ||
Ed Bouchee This was the year he was allowed to be traded as his probation ended. The missing card from 1958 Topps set #145 and was not issued. | ||
A couple guys with CFL cards. Cody Ledbetter - Sex with a minor David Sidoo - Yet to be convicted, but charged in the whole Lori Loughlin/Felicity Huffman bribery case And although Rae Carruth is on this list, his 1998 Fleer Metal Universe card #12 might be the most unfortunate background ever for a card. | ||
Thank you! I’ll add them. Wow, the background on that card is unfortunate. | ||
Octavio Dotel was just arrested fir being involved in a drug trafficking scheme | ||
@IfbBirdsCards I just added him. | ||
Since Tonya Harding could use some company on the ladies' side of things, you can add Myriam Bedard, Olympic biathelete (in the skiing/shooting sense - get your mind out of the sewers), who got convicted of child abduction in violation of a custody agreement. She has a couple '92 Olympic cards. | ||
(double post)
| ||
| ||
I just saw, while researching his murder, that former NBA player Anthony Grundy was arrested for being involved in a fatal hit-and-run accident. His only cards are in 2005-06 Topps Chrome. | ||
Chad Kelly (QB) - second-degree criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct for two separate incidents
Also, probably doesn't count, but Bubba Starling was cited for underage drinking while in the minors
| ||
I would try to add to this excellent and interesting list, but it's depressingly long as it is. No role models here. Good job, though. v3 | ||
This probably doesn't count but Hockey Goalie Grant Fuhr was suspended for using cocaine in 1990 when he played with the Edmonton Oilers. I don't know if he was ever charged. | ||
@DarkSide830 and Dmark11 Thank you for the suggestions. @Vvvergeer Thanks! I'm glad you like. | ||
It looks like over half these guys should not be allowed to drive a car, ever. And I didn't know about Ugeth Urbina being charged with attempted murder. Wow. When was that? And did it happen in the U.S.? | ||
@Alomar_Collector It happened in Venezuela in 2005. He attacked some people on his property for supposedly stealing a gun of his. | ||
Dwight Gooden- DWI (several times), driving w/suspended license, misdemeanor battery, violating probation, leaving the scene of an accident, child endangerment, cocaine possession (just last year) Interesting fact, Gary Sheffield, his nephew, was arrested with him once for fighting police and resisting arrest. However, this was before his MLB career had begun. Darryl Strawberry - failure to pay child support, failure to pay legal fees, soliciting sex, cocaine possession, violating non-drug probation rules, filing a false police report Rex Chapman - shoplifting Jason Kidd - domestic abuse, DWI Charles Oakley - misdemeanor assault and criminal trespassing for altercation with Knicks exec. chairman James Dolan Tank Johnson - weapons possession (several times)
| ||
February 2005 – Dany Heatley Dany Heatley pleaded guilty to four misdemeanor charges in exchange for prosecutors dropping charges of first-degree vehicular homicide and reckless driving, which could have meant up to 15 years in prison. Heatley was also ordered to make 50 speeches a year for three years about the perils of speeding. His car was also required to have a mechanism to prevent it from exceeding 70 miles an hour. Heatley had been charged with vehicular homicide in the death of Dan Snyder, his Atlanta Thrashers teammate and friend, following a crash in September 2003. | ||
Dino Ciccarelli - Convicted of assault and served a one-day jail sentence for an on-ice stick-swinging incident. | ||
Dunno if he was ever convicted... Onterrio Smith, high school teammate of Dante Stallworth, who is also on this list. Stopped in an airport with a "whizzanator" and also arrested for DUI. | ||
As someone who grew up on and loved '70s baseball, you must include Cesar Cedeno and "the incident". He paid a 100 peso fine for a shooting incident involving a woman in the D.R. on Dec. 11, 1973. Additional details are in this excellent article, which focus on Cedeno's "decline" after the shooting: https://vault.si.com/vault/1977/08/01/cesars-salad-days-are-over Cedeno was the quintessential '70s five-tool astroturf superstar of the NL and Amos Otis was the same in the AL. At each other's best, Cedeno was the better player. However, while their career stats are quite similar, AO was considered a success and Cedeno a disappointment. | ||
soccer players: René Higuita, Colombian national team goalie, accused of kidnapping, went to prison 7 months.
| ||
Adrian Peterson - reckless or negligent injury to a child on September 12, 2014 Ondrej Pavelec - DUI (July 2016) Dustin Byfuglien - Impaired boating (June or July 2016) Patrick Kane - disorderly conduct, after assaulting a cab driver (August 2009) | ||
You must include Link Gaetz (aka The Missing Link) ... I think you can piece together a partial rap sheet from this article: I remember reading about this lunatic in The Hockey News when he was in the Minnesota North Stars farm system. When the San Jose Sharks picked him up during its expansion season of 1991-92, I had to see this team at The Meadowlands when they played the NJ Devils on 10/26/1991. Well, I wasn't disappointed ... he dropped Randy McKay with one punch and mixed it up with Dave Maley late in the third period ,,, racked up 35 PIM! BTW, the Devils won 9-0. | ||
Jeff Komlo - DUI. At his death was also under investigation for domestic violence, cocaine possession, and arson. Keith Appling - carrying a concealed weapon, resisting arrest. Taylor Lewan - assault Rumeal Robinson - bribery, fraud | ||
1992 Bull Ring - Promos #NNO Gary Balough One of the greatest to ever drive a car, He served a sentence of 45½ months in jail for drug trafficking | ||
@theFalcon That article you linked (No pun intended) for Link Gaetz was great! | ||
Don Murdoch pleaded guilty to a cocaine bust in Toronto. Details: https://vault.si.com/vault/1978/08/07/scorecard
| ||
Rick Tocchett pleaded guilty to bookmaking in NJ in 2007 ... details in Wikipedia. | ||
How about John Paul Jr., convicted of racketeering? His father John Paul Sr. was a better driver and a worse criminal, but he doesn't have any cards. -Tom | ||
Buddy Ryan was not a good game-day coach, but he was a good judge of talent ... or lack of talent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Allen_(American_football) | ||
Wil Cordero - Assault and battery 1997, disturbing the peace 1999 | ||
Irving Fryar - Mortgage fraud | ||
I mentioned David Sidoo earlier with regards to the 2019 college admissions bribery scandal. He's since been convicted. | ||
Lenny Randle pleaded no contest to battery and was fined $1,050 for pummeling Frank Lucchesi during 1977 spring training.
| ||
Umpire Bob Engel busted for shoplifting 4,000 baseball cards from Target 1990, WTH! | ||
Tate George went to jail nine years for fraud on a Ponzi scheme. https://www.tradingcarddb.com/Person.cfm/pid/7086/Tate-George | ||
Gates Brown - burglary Don King - 2nd degree murder ... he was pardoned by Ohio's governor in 1983 | ||
Rubin Hurricane Carter. Horrible injustice but spent almost 20 years in prison for murder. | ||
Donald Brashear - at least one assault conviction. I also remember him getting busted for some kind of incident down at the Jersey shore ... can't remember how that was resolved and Wikpedia has no details on it. Chuck Muncie - per Wikipedia, sentenced to 18 months in the can for selling 2 oz. of cocaine to a friend ... that's being a friend?! | ||
Just thought of some more wrestlers: Sunny R-Truth Crush | ||
In 1983 the NHL gave Ric Nattress a 30-game suspension after he was convicted of the possession of 3 whole grams of pot and one entire gram of hash | ||
Here's one from Spring Training this year. Reese McGuire was arrested for exposure of sexual organs while masturbating in a dollar store parking lot in Dunedin, FL
| ||
André René Roussimoff aka Andre the Giant Aug. 21, 1989 Charged with assault and criminal mischief in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for placing a camara man in a headlock and damaging the camara mans equipment. | ||
Alex Cole, drug trafficking | ||
Just watched an episode of American Greed and it was about former football player Eric Naposki. He was convicted of murder and while he contends he didn't do it is serving life in prison. He only has one card on the database, but still I thought of this list when I watched it. | ||
Jamal Lewis, RB, Baltimore Ravens: https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=1897106 Miguel Cabrera, 1B, Detroit Tigers: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/7429629/miguel-cabrera-pleads-no-contest-drunken-driving-charge-florida

| ||
Dany Heatley: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dany_Heatley#Car_accident | ||
Jon Jones: A little bit of everything. felony hit and run, battery, several DWI's/DUI's, negligent use of a firearm Conor McGregor: assault and criminal mischief after bus incident prior to UFC 223 | ||
| ||
Boxing: Jake LaMotta - sexual interference Mike Tyson - rape, assault Football Mack Herron - drug convictions Billy Cannon - counterfeiting Plaxico Burress - weapons charges Dexter Manley - drug possession, evidence tampering Nate Newton - drug trafficking Lawrence Phillips - assault Art Schlichter - forgery Hockey: Nikolai Khabibulin - DUI Tom McCarthy - drug trafficking Baseball: Duke Snider - federal tax fraud Willie McCovey - federal tax fraud Wille Mays Aikens - cocaine trafficking Ugueth Urbina - attempted murder Rick Camp - conspiracy Sam Crane - murder John D'Acquisto - conspiracy, forgery, wire fraud Red Downs - first degree robbery Ferris Fain - growing marijuana Mark Grace - DUI Mike Pinky Higgins - negligent homicide LaMarr Hoyt - drug possesion Pat Jarvis - fraud Jerry Koosman - tax evasion Raúl Mondesí - curruption and mishandling public funds Sammy Stewart - drug possesion Rusty Torres - sexual abuse
| ||
Baseball: Doug DeCinces - insider trading Boxing: Cassius Clay - violating the Selective Service laws by refusing to be drafted. Football: Aaron Hernandez - murder Hockey: Todd Bertuzzi - assault
| ||
@jmnovff Aaron Hernandez is already on the list. I will add the rest. | ||
Chuck Knoblauch - assaulting a family member | ||
Since Bruce McNall, not an athlete, is included in the list.... George Steinbrenner - illegal campaign contributions and obstruction of justice Clarence Campbell - bribery | ||
Darryl Sydor, DUI Ric Nattress, Drug possession Simon Gagne, DUI (License suspended) Nicholas Khabibulin , DUI Chris Pronger, DUI Miroslav Frycer, DUI Rob Ramage, Vehicular Manslaughter Patrick Cote, Bank robberies and drug possession Kevin Stevens, Cocaine Ryan Malone, Cocaine, but pleaded guilty to DUI instead Ed Belfour, Assault + Resisting arrest (pleaded guilty to misdemeanour) Brian Sutter, Bar fight, judge fined him after he pleaded guilty to Disorderly Conduct Petr Klima, DUI (multiple times) Tommy Salo, DUI Mark Bell, DUI Matthew Barnaby, DWI + more to come (currently in court) | ||
Danny Tartabull, deadbeat dad + under warrant for skipping out a jail sentence | ||
I don't recall seeing Joey Barton on the list. In 2008 he was sentenced to 6 months inprisonment for common assault and affray. Affray by the by means is fighting one or more persons in a public place causing terror amongst the onlookers. | ||
Karl Malone Raping and impregnating a minor Sebastian Telfair Possession of firearms and marijuana | ||
@mkb Wait, what? Karl Malone raped a minor? | ||
It's pretty well known. He got a 13 year old, Gloria Bell pregnant and their kid was Demetress Bell. Yes the one that played left tackle in the NFL. | ||
Karl Malone was never charged with any crime, thus never convicted, thus doesn't qualify for this list. | ||
Ex-Major League Baseball pitcher Scott Erickson has been charged with a misdemeanor count of reckless driving in connection with the crime. Scott was street racing another driver who hit an killed two young boys. | ||
Julio Machado voluntary murder in Venezuela. Baseball player in 1991.
| ||
Steve Howe for drug posession. I didn't see him on this list. Baseball. | ||
You've got Willie Aikens on there twice. And it probably should be insider trading for Doug DeCinces. 'Fast' Eddie Johnson, who died in prison recently, has a lengthy rap sheet. The worst easily being sexual battery of a minor, which got him the life sentence. That's the guy who played for the Hawks in the early 80s, not the guy with the Suns/Sonics/Hornets. They've been confused in the media several times before. | ||
Jacques Richard - Cocaine Smuggling Chris Chelios - Purse snatching, and also several DUI and minor assualt charges, although I am not sure if any stuck. Kevin Stevens - Conspiring to sell drugs. | ||
You forgot Trevor Bauer (Sexual Assualt) | ||
How about Art Schlicter? I used to see him at Pimlico Race Course in the early 1980's and thought nothing of it. Then later read the headlines and 'Uh-oh!' Who knew? | ||
Jeff Hardy pled guilty in 2011 for drug possesion, served 10 days in jail | ||
There's a good list on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_sportspeople_convicted_of_crimes | ||
Sadly Henry Ruggs III will be soon added to this list. | ||
Julio Machado was charged with involuntary murder, not voluntary murder lol | ||
Indecent assault? As opposed to a decent assault? | ||
@pugchump Did I get it wrong? I'll fix it @Lennoxmatt That page has been a big help with the list. | ||
Ryan Ayers was actually never convicted of those charges and he's currently in proceedings to sue the prosecutors for contempt. Not sure if that matters for your purposes but I thought I'd mention it since the title specifies athletes convicted of crimes. Also, Julio Machado's charge was for involuntary murder, not voluntary murder. I don't think voluntary murder is a charge, it would be a bit redundant lol. | ||
https://www.tcdb.com/Person.cfm/pid/48860/Reid-Boucher Pled guilty in December to raping a 12 year old girl in 2011
| ||
It might be a bit of a stretch to call him an athlete, but there is a card of former Billiards player Howard Vickery. He's currently on the Ohio Sex Offender registry for Gross Sexual Impoosition on a Juvenile Female. I found that out the hard way when adding his card to the 'guys I share a birthday with' collection and deciding to google him. 1993 Pro Billiards Tour #23 Howard Vickery | Trading Card Database (tcdb.com) | ||
Casey DeSmith pled guilty to disorderly conduct in order to have charges of domestic assault and resisting arrest dropped. https://thehockeynews.com/news/college-goalie-arrested-for-domestic-assault-and-resisting-arrest | ||
Myriam Bédard - Bédard was also charged with contempt of court | ||
Thomas Steen - Assault and uttering threats Jim Brown - Violating probation for vanadalism Oscar Pistorius - Homicide and reckless endangerment Leo Cardenas - Assault
| ||
You should make it clear that the Kellen Winslow is Kellen Winslow, Jr. not his HOF Dad. Maybe choose a card with "Jr." on it. | ||
@C2Cigars Ok. It's just the cards I have of him (Which I usually chose to represent the lists) don't have the Jr. part. | ||
.
| ||
I think Wander has earned a spot on here | ||
Anthony Smith was convicted of three murders not two; Ricky Nettles, Kevin Nettles and Dennis Henderson. Jury deadlocked on the fourth murder. He's one sick puppy. | ||
| ||
Joe Mixon committed Assault by punching a woman and breaking multiple bones in her face Rampage Jackson decided to Commit reckless driving while evading the police after his loss to Forrest Griffin Allen Iverson was arrested For speeding, weed, and a concealed firearm and sentenced to 3 years of probation
| ||
Ugueth Urbina - attempted murder using a machete Latrell Sprewell - disorderly conduct for playing loud music Don't know if I saw him on here, but Javaris Crittenton has a couple - voluntary manslaughter and aggravated assault Jaxson Hayes had much more than I thought - resisting arrest, five counts of spousal abuse, vandalism
| ||
Pat Mahomes - multiple DUI, convicted 2018 https://www.marca.com/en/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/2024/02/04/65c008d5268e3e38588b4577.html | ||
Noah Corson ex junior hockey player convicted of statutory rape https://www.tcdb.com/Person.cfm/pid/215713/Noah-Corson | ||
The wrong Mahomes is currently pictured. Senior is who has multiple DUIs. | ||
@Bowersbird My mistake! I’ll fix it. | ||
Laveranues Coles and Peter Warrick ruined their draft status with a shoplifting scheme. Nice list. I imagine you could add dozens more if you really go deep. Money and fame really can ruin lives. | ||
.
| ||
Vinnie Jones - Assault (twice) | ||
Warren Wells - assault |
