Grand MaMa Escapes Jail

[T-post Tom]

Former NFL running back Larry Johnson pleaded no contest Tuesday to charges that he choked an ex-girlfriend into unconsciousness and left her only in her underwear in a Las Vegas hotel hallway.

The 33-year-old was convicted of domestic violence battery and assault, which are both misdemeanors. A felony charge was dropped as part of a plea deal, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported ( http://bit.ly/17B9Nzd ).

Johnson was sentenced to one year of probation and ordered to pay a $345 fine. He must also perform 48 hours of community service and attend six months of counseling.

"I'm just happy to have this behind me and go back to Florida and stay out of trouble for once," Johnson said after the hearing, according to the newspaper.

Johnson was arrested Oct. 5 at a Bellagio hotel room. According to a police report, he and the woman had been drinking alcohol before the altercation, and the woman had marks on her face and bruises on her neck. Johnson had marks on his face that police attributed to the woman fighting him as he choked her.

The woman told officers she passed out and awoke in the 10th floor hallway and knocked on doors until someone called hotel security.

Johnson, who starred for the Kansas City Chiefs but most recently played for the Miami Dolphins in 2011, was arrested several times during his nine-year NFL career.

He was sentenced in March 2009 to two years of probation with a chance to have his record cleared for good behavior after pleading guilty to reduced disturbing the peace charges in separate cases involving two women at two Kansas City nightclubs.

In 2003, Johnson was charged with aggravated assault and misdemeanor battery after being accused of brandishing a gun during an argument with a former girlfriend. The charges were dropped after he completed a domestic violence diversion program.

Florida is definitely the best place for him to go to stay out of trouble.

[Fat Elvis]

I guess he gave up cakin' for chokin' patna.

I don't get hit; I give hits.


Only if you have a vagina, though.

[Mr. Laz]

convicted of domestic violence battery and assault, which are both misdemeanors

[T-post Tom]

Vegas. If you're not stealing from the casino, it's can't be that bad.

I burned mine at NZoners bash a couple of years ago. Several people did.

We still worry about what LJ does?

Seeings how Peter King broke the story on 610, absolutely...

[CrazyPhuD]

To be fair he's way more infamous than Troy Polamalu!

[Red Dawg]

Exactly. It was on NFL AM and I thought wtf for?

[Rain Man]

We need to give Larry a break. He grew up in a two-parent household with a father who makes $200,000 a year.

Wait a minute. I think something seems wrong in that excuse.

[JoeyChuckles]

I hoped this thread was about that GrandLlama guy that gave us free streams back in 2010 or 2011.

[Dave Lane]

Wow he's only 33 could still be playing if he cared about anything besides being and wanting pussy

No wonder Vermeil kicked his ass. He needed it

It does indeed seem that time is proving Dick to be right.

I don't recall. Was it Dick's idea or Carl's idea to draft him? I remember some controversy since we had the best running back in the league already on the roster.

As much as we malign LJ, the weird thing is that he was still one of the best picks we could've made that year. The only obviously better picks would've been to stay in place and draft Polamalu or take Charles Tillman.

Nnamdi would have been a good pick, but LJ was good value.

He was excellent value where he was picked.

Carl wanted LJ. DV wanted Tyler Brayton.

Should have taken Polamalu or Barnett. :)

Fuck, LJ is looking old

[A Salt Weapon]

Only a $345 fine? For fucks sake, spilling a drop of oil on the ground is $10,000.
