Georgia WR Colbie Young gets probation, fine in assault case

Georgia wide receiver Colbie Young pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct on Wednesday in a criminal case related to his arrest on Oct. 8, in which a woman accused him of assaulting her and her unborn child, before later recanting her statement to police.

The player's attorney, Kim Stephens, told ESPN on Wednesday that Young will serve 12 months' probation, pay a $500 fine and attend a family violence intervention program.

Prosecutors dropped misdemeanor charges of battery and assault on an unborn child, according to Stephens.

"I think it should have been dismissed, but I don't think they were being unreasonable at all," Stephens said of prosecutors.
