Packers Star Josh Jacobs Pleads No Contest in Wisconsin Case
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs pleaded no contest Thursday. He entered the plea in Brown County Court in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Charges included misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property. The charges involve his former girlfriend.
The battery plea resulted in a conviction. Jacobs will avoid jail time.
He must pay a $1,000 fine. He will complete a one-year deferred judgment agreement.
The property damage charge may be dismissed later. This depends on completing counseling and avoiding contact with the victim.
The charges stem from a May altercation at his home. Jacobs said he takes full responsibility.
He may now face a suspension from the National Football League. Details of any suspension have not been announced.
Klear Note — A no-contest plea accepts conviction without admitting guilt. NFL discipline is separate from court penalties, so suspension details may follow later.
